Effective strains enable rapid wound closure in jellyfish after injury
A spring lattice model shows that radially contractile pre-strains initiate wound closure in jellyfish umbrella geometry even for large cuts, matching experiments and yielding an analytical formula for closure amount based on residual material angle.
