title: Effects of colchicine, cytochalasin-B and papaverine on wound healing in Xenopus early embryos.
abstract: The effects of colchicine, cytochalasin-B and papaverine on wound healing in Xenopus early embryos have been studied. Colchicine does not prevent wound healing, whereas cytochalasin-B does. Papaverine, under conditions which prevent the completion of neurulation, does not prevent wound healing. A model is given which might explain these observations.
