Long Term Objective: To find out how nail stem cells can be utilized in Regenerative medicine
Short Term Objective: To determine the potential of nail stem cells regeneration, considering the variation:
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
Procedure for collecting “Nail Growth” photographic 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
(4) SAY “THANK YOU” TO HIM/HER
N.B.You may also say where this data will be available www.metastudio.org/cube for them if they want to see/use!
Two horizontal lines and One vertical line drawn on on a graph paper, as shown in the photo attached.
-
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
b. Gender (M/F)
c. Age. e.g. M-21 (meaning Male 21 yrs. age) or F-40 (meaning Male 21 yrs. age)
M= Male
F= Female
