title: The mechanics of wound healing.
abstract: This paper discusses the factors which affect the healing of wounds at the tissue and organ levels. It covers some of the problems which complicate the sequence of healing and considers the mechanisms involved in regeneration and repair of tissues. The factors associated with the stimulus and sequence of healing and their interactions are also reviewed.
