How can you use “blebs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In isolated bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs), the opening or activation of COP is associated with formation of spherical membrane blebs with a diameter of 3-5 microns [ 3 ] . The final stage of MTX-induced cell death is cell lysis as indicated by the release of large cytoplasmic enzymes, such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
One study documented peroxide-induced membrane blebbing after a short time stimulation of endothelial cells [ 22 ] . Although MP-release was not investigated, authors showed micrographs of stimulated cells with membrane blebs of about 3 μm in diameter.
The videos presented demonstrate that COP activation as indicated by vital dye uptake correlates in time with the formation of membrane blebs, and that membrane lysis, i.e., LDH release, is associated with dramatic bleb dilation.
However, over the course of the single cell experiments we noticed that BAECs treated with MTX not only accumulate vital dyes, but also undergo an enormous reorganization of the plasma membrane to form giant membrane blebs.
, 20 min after addition of MTX) large membrane blebs were observed on essentially all the cells within the field of view (Fig 5A, see examples indicated by blue arrows ). Additionally, clear staining of the nucleus and cytoplasm by ethidium was observed at this time.
