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.
