I contacted to them to ask for information but didn't want to give me any information.

thank you for the link

there is alot of trials about scar/stretch marks going on right now but this is something that REALLY takes time

ive read that for a trial go on on MOUSES STUDIES you need to sbmit papers, get things looked over by alot of professors and approved, and it takes around 6 to 12 months just to get APPROVAL on mouse studies, and them if all goes the right way the human trials begins and takes more and more time, but it gets worse.
The major obstacle is funding. And this is where things get VERY frustrating too. 200,000 EU gets spent quickly for exemple... for all the individuals that are part of the research teams need to get paid, lab equipment, etc. and yeah, that would include them waiting around 6+ months just to get the go ahead to do a mouse study, But that's not even it.... suppose you ARE someone that discovered a potential cure for stretch marks and you request funding... you're likely to get rejected... why? Because it's a aesthetic and not cancer or another health diseas.
the work MAY be relatively easy in the end, but the REAL problem lies in regulations and social stigma

but we hope for the best,
cheers
