Schematic of the Multiplex TGT Experimental Setup

Caption

Cells cultured on this surface are presented with two types of tension gauge tethers (TGT) simultaneously. Each type of TGT is also labeled with a dye, on the top strand, and anchored to the surface through a biotin -- neutravidin linkage. Inset shows the DNA coordinates used in the shear force derivation.
