9 肺癌細(xì)胞培基長(zhǎng)出的單細(xì)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(xì)胞培基上長(zhǎng)出的單細(xì)胞，其中不對(duì)稱紫色突起叫做“大皰”，它與癌細(xì)胞產(chǎn)生質(zhì)膜的細(xì)胞骨架出現(xiàn)局部分離。
起泡對(duì)于包括細(xì)胞移動(dòng)、細(xì)胞分裂、物理和化學(xué)應(yīng)力的多樣性細(xì)胞變化進(jìn)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]
