Morphological changes such as cell shrinkage & blebbing were analyzed by fluorescent microscopy.
2
We also show that expression of active truncated ROCK I induces cell blebbing.
3
Morphological changes including chromatin condensation, cell shrinkage, blebbing of cell membrane, and ballooning formations were observed.
4
Scanning electron microscopy revealed intensive surface blebbing on both types of cells in the presence of KAR-2.
5
In addition, these cells showed chromatin condensation, membrane blebbing and predominantly emitted red fluorescence, which signified apoptosis.
A cell extension caused by localized decoupling of the cytoskeleton from the plasma membrane and characterized by rapid formation, rounded shape, and scarcity of organelles within the protrusion.
