Many devices have been designed and fabricated to apply tensile strain to cultured adherent cells. Most of these devices are designed to apply a single strain magnitude, negating high-throughput studies. For those devices designed to have multiple strain levels, media is pooled among the various strain levels, negating certain assays and complicating data with paracrine signaling.
