  Skin contraction is an important biophysical process that takes place during
and after the recovery of deep tissue injury. This process is mainly caused by
fibroblasts (skin cells) and myofibroblasts (differentiated fibroblasts) that
exert pulling forces on the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Modelling
is done in multiple scales: agent-based modelling on the microscale and
continuum-based modelling on the macroscale. In this manuscript, we present
some results from our study of the connection between these scales. For the
one-dimensional case, we managed to rigorously establish the link between the
two modelling approaches for both closed-form solutions and finite-element
approximations. For the multidimensional case, we computationally evidence the
connection between the agent-based and continuum-based modelling approaches.
