By a process of iterative computations, the material properties of Zona Pellucida (ZP &#8211; the outer membrane of the oocyte) are identified. It is demonstrated that by using the identified ZP mechanical properties it is possible to improve the potential for a successful implantation which will lead to pregnancy.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-32.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1773\" src=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-33.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1774\" src=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-34.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1775\" src=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-34.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"189\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-35.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1776\" src=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-35.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"272\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"skin-mechanics-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"skin-mechanics-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-36-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-947\" src=\"https:\/\/ctmfm.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pic-36-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"214\" \/><\/a><\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Skin mechanics<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: center\">This goal of this study is to investigate how different genetic treatment protocols for tissue regeneration influence the mechanical response of skin tissue.
