Abstract
The time-independent nonhomogeneous diffusion equation is solved for the equilibrium distribution of wound-induced growth factor over a hemispherical surface. The growth factor is produced at the inner edge of a circular wound and stimulates healing in regions where the concentration exceeds a certain threshold value. An implicit analytic criterion is derived for complete healing of the wound. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
