9 肺癌細胞培基長出的單細胞
這張電子掃描顯微照片也是由安妮－韋斯頓(Anne Weston)拍攝的，它顯示從肺癌細胞培基上長出的單細胞，其中不對稱紫色突起叫做“大皰”，它與癌細胞產生質膜的細胞骨架出現局部分離。
起泡對于包括細胞移動、細胞分裂、物理和化學應力的多樣性細胞變化進程非常重要。
This scanning electron micrograph was also produced by Anne Weston. It shows a single cell grown from a culture of lung cancer cells. The irregular purple bulges are called blebs, a localised decoupling of the cytoskeleton from the plasma membrane caused by the cancer. Blebbing is important in a variety of cellular processes including cell locomotion, cell division and physical or chemical stresses. (Image: Anne Weston) [NewScientist]
