Schematic of two different cellular processes of wound healing. (A) During purse string healing, supracellular actomyosin cables (orange lines) accumulate around the wound circumference, and the cells at the wound periphery contract. (B) During cell crawling, lamellipodia-dependent cell migration covers the wound gap, and the migrating cells close the wound. Red protrusions indicate lamellipodia.
