Design and construction of an equibiaxial cell stretching system that is improved for biochemical analysis.

We describe the design and validation of an equibiaxial stretching device in which cells are confined to regions of homogeneous strain. Using this device, we seek to overcome a significant limitation of existing equibiaxial stretching devices, in which strains are not homogeneous over the entire reg...
