TGT surface is an innovative platform to study growth factor-integrin crosstalk. The flexible probe design, specificity of the adhesion ligand, and precise modulation of stimulation conditions allow robust quantitative assessments of EGFR-integrin interplay. The results highlight EGFR as a 'mechano-organizer' tuning integrin mechanics, influencing focal adhesion assembly and cell spreading.
