Fig. 4.
(A) Bee-swarm plots of mechanical characteristics (EY, FT, TM, RT) of cells (A) primed for three days in the presence of complete medium, (B) cultured on TCPS, G-100, and G-25, after three days in culture post-priming, in the presence of complete medium, and (C) cultured for nine days on TCPS, G-100 and G-25. Cells were cultured on TCPS in the presence or absence of growth factors, while those on G-100 and G-25 were cultured in the presence of growth factors. The red lines represent the mean and standard deviation of the data in each case while the symbols represent the data points. Notation: Young’s modulus (EY), tether force (FT), apparent membrane tension (TM), and tether radius (RT).
