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 ...

Cleaving hundreds of different kinds of proteins within a cell, these enzymes wreak havoc on the genome, attack structural proteins composing the cell’s organelles, and dismantle the cytoskeleton, ...

then a measurement of tether force on a cytoskeletally supported region of a cell (where Eqn 1 applies) and a bleb (where Eqn 2 applies) can be use to calculate the adhesion energy: ...

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.
