Abstract
A system for applying and measuring tensions of a plurality of bio-object constructs includes a base; and a flexible body disposed on the base, wherein the flexible body defines a plurality of construct holes for accommodating the plurality of bio-object constructs, such that when the flexible body is bent, the bending of the flexible body causes tensions to be applied to the plurality of bio-object constructs, thereby causing displacements of the plurality of bio-object constructs.
