Résumé

<abstract><p>The movement of cells during (normal and abnormal) wound healing is the result of biomechanical interactions that combine cell responses with growth factors as well as cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions (adhesion and remodelling). It is known that cells can communicate and interact locally and non-locally with other cells inside the tissues through mechanical forces that act locally and at a distance, as well as through long non-conventional cell protrusions. In this study, we consider a non-local partial differential equation model for the interactions between fibroblasts, macrophages and the extracellular matrix (ECM) via a growth factor (TGF-$ \beta $) in the context of wound healing. For the non-local interactions, we consider two types of kernels (i.e., a Gaussian kernel and a cone-shaped kernel), two types of cell-ECM adhesion functions (i.e., adhesion only to higher-density ECM vs. adhesion to higher-/lower-density ECM) and two types of cell proliferation terms (i.e., with and without decay due to overcrowding). We investigate numerically the dynamics of this non-local model, as well as the dynamics of the localised versions of this model (i.e., those obtained when the cell perception radius decreases to 0). The results suggest the following: (ⅰ) local models explain normal wound healing and non-local models could also explain abnormal wound healing (although the results are parameter-dependent); (ⅱ) the models can explain two types of wound healing, i.e., by primary intention, when the wound margins come together from the side, and by secondary intention when the wound heals from the bottom up.</p></abstract>
