showed that rapidly extending and retracting blebs mediate motility in zebrafish primordial germ cells in vivo. Notably, cortical actin filaments were absent from the extending blebs, which ...

Once cleaved, ROCK-I is constitutively active and is responsible for bleb formation in apoptotic cells. Caspases are known to be responsible for many of the morphological changes associated with ...

There are many different triggers of apoptosis, but they all ultimately activate executioners called caspases. Cleaving hundreds of different kinds of proteins within a cell, these enzymes wreak havoc ...

A pulmonary bleb is a small collection of air between the lung and the outer surface of the lung (visceral pleura) usually found in the upper lobe of the lung. When a bleb ruptures the air escapes ...

Various nuclear shape abnormalities such as micronuclei and nuclear blebs both close to the main nucleus. Nuclear shape abnormalities can lead to a severe impact on genomic DNA integrity.
