A mathematical model for lymphangiogenesis in normal and diabetic wounds

A Bianchi, KJ Painter, JA Sherratt - Journal of theoretical biology, 2015 - Elsevier
Several studies suggest that one possible cause of impaired wound healing is failed or
insufficient lymphangiogenesis, that is the formation of new lymphatic capillaries. Although
many mathematical models have been developed to describe the formation of blood
capillaries (angiogenesis) very few have been proposed for the regeneration of the
lymphatic network. Moreover, lymphangiogenesis is markedly distinct from angiogenesis,
occurring at different times and in a different manner. Here a model of five ordinary …
