the Factors Affecting Post-Wound Hair Regeneration in Mice. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that in mice large wound size increases the number of hair follicle because large wound will activate the Wnt pathway that is necessary for hair follicle regeneration in wounds. Independent variables being tested: The wound size of the mice. Dependent variables being tested: The number of hair follicle. Experimental Design: This experiment will be designed to determine if large wound size, would affect the…
