We propose a Partial Differential Equation Model for epidermal wound healing and Dorsal Closure in Drosophila embryos. We implement a numerical simulation of this model and compare the predicted evolution with the one observed experimentally.

During embryogenesis, drosophila embryos undergo epithelial folding and unfolding, which leads to a hole in the dorsal epidermis, transiently covered by an extraembryonic tissue called the amnioserosa. Dorsal closure (DC) consists of the migration of lateral epidermis towards the midline, covering the amnioserosa. It has been extensively...

Segments are fundamental units in animal development which are made of distinct cell lineages separated by boundaries. Although boundaries show limited plasticity during their formation for sharpening, cell lineages make compartments that become tightly restricted as development goes on. Here, we characterize a unique case of breaking of the...
