The author considers the role of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the process of corneal wound healing. The EGF stimulates the proliferation of corneal epidermal cells in the rabbit cornea and the author focuses on the effects of the EGF on the speed of healing of corneal wounds. He considers surface wounds only and therefore the mathematical model is a 2-D. The mathematical model describes cell movement and cell division in response to the secretion of EGF and consists of two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The author concludes that the rate of healing of corneal wounds can be increased by increasing the cell diffusion coefficient or the amount of EGF. However, increasing the EGF diffusion coefficient does not effect the rate of healing. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1010.00009].
