Long Term Objective: To find out how nail stem cells can be utilized in Regenerative medicine

at different stages of growth, Age
Gender
Health issues (if any) etc
Immediate Objective:
Collect data from volunteers
maintain the log book
follow up
analyse data

(1)ALIGN THE FINGER WITH THE NAIL MARK ALONG THE VERTICAL LINE* IN THE GRAPH PAPER INSTRUMENT (DESCRIBED BELOW) IN A WELL LIGHTED PLACE
(2) FILL THE FRESH PAPER SLIP
(3) CLICK PHOTO

The Vertical Line is to align the finger with the Voter’s Ink mark vertically.
-
The proximal end of the nail is aligned to the Horizontal line A
-
The second Horizontal line B should be 1cm (10mm) away from the first Horizontal line A , from where easily, one can count the number of mm squares to the bottom of the moving ink mark as the nail grows.
-
Slips of paper can be kept on the graph paper ,each time to write
a. Serial number of the person whose nail mark is are photographed
