Changes in cell shape just after ablation—simulation results for cell-center wounds (AC) and cell-edge wounds (DF). The cell shapes before ablation (dashed) are superimposed on those just after ablation (τ = 1.12). The ablated cell(s) are unshaded. The isotropic external stress Σ increases from left to right.
