Models for force-mediated patterning process in wound healing and cell shape regulation. a, The time course of wound healing in xenopus oocyte. Adapted from Ref. [63]. White arrows indicate actomyosin bundles (purse-string). b-c, Models for how (b) cell sheet and (c) individual cells use the interplay of tension along actomyosin bundles and the geometry-dependent positive feedback of cell protrusions to form patterning cues.
