9 肺癌细胞培基长出的单细胞
这张电子扫描显微照片也是由安妮－韦斯顿(Anne Weston)拍摄的，它显示从肺癌细胞培基上长出的单细胞，其中不对称紫色突起叫做“大疱”，它与癌细胞产生质膜的细胞骨架出现局部分离。
起泡对于包括细胞移动、细胞分裂、物理和化学应力的多样性细胞变化进程非常重要。
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]
