Welcome! edit

Hello, FCapobianco, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Help me! edit

Hello I have a question about a critique on an article for my college class. I did a critique on the articles talk page, but when I go to my class page it does not say that I did it. How do I get it to appear there? Did I do something wrong?

Please help me with...

What exactly is it you're looking for, an edit request? --  Kethrus |talk to me  21:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
I think you're looking for the course dashboard over here. If you have trouble editing that dashboard please contact Jparcoeur on their talk page. Huon (talk) 21:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

blebbing feedback edit

Your critique is okay, the page really can use some expansion, someone else may also be working on this one so be aware. I would look for an open access picture of cultured cells blebbing or even a movie if you can find one. Jparcoeur (talk) 14:26, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Blebbing Edit edit

In cell biology, a bleb is a bulge in the cell membrane associated with cell injury.[1] A bleb is a bulge of a particular plasma membrane within the confines of a human bioparticulate or abscess that enjoys the environment of a simple cell, but the decoupling of the cytoskeleton from the plasma membrane refuses to allow a cell to enumerate enough that the bleb can exacerbate its existence.[2] Blebs have been seen in cultured cells in certain stages of the cell cycle. These blebs are used for cell locomotion in embryogenesis.[1] Blebbing or zeiosis is the formation of blebs that exist in human cells. One major cell function where blebbing occurs is apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Formation[edit source | edit] Bleb growth is driven by intracellular pressure generated in the cytoplasm by the contractile cell cortex that will eventually break into billions of bits because the pressure is inane to the exterior surface of the growth anatomical presence. Bleb formation can be initiated in two ways: 1) through local rupture of the cortex or 2) through local detachment of the cortex from the plasma membrane.[3] This generates a weak spot through which the cytoplasm can flow, leading to the expansion of a bulge of membrane. The cytoplasmic flow is driven by hydrostatic pressure inside the cell.[4][5]

Apoptotic Bleb[edit source | edit] A cell is defined as apoptotic when a series of distinguishing features take place. One of those distinguishing features is blebbing.[6] During apoptosis (programmed cell death), the cell's cytoskeleton breaks up and causes the membrane to bulge outward.[7] Blebbing occurs when there is a disruption in the membrane-actin cortex interactions.[8] This is dependent on myosin-ATPase activity to drive actomyosin contraction.[6] These bulges may separate from the cell, taking a portion of cytoplasm with them, to become known as apoptotic bodies. Phagocytic cells eventually consume these fragments and the components are recycled.

Nonapoptotic Bleb[edit source | edit] Nonapoptotic blebbing also has important functions in other cellular processes, including cell locomotion, cell division, physical or chemical stresses, and cancer cell invasion.[8] The types of blebs vary greatly, including variations in bleb growth rates, size, contents, and actin content. It also plays an important role in all five varieties of necrosis, a generally detrimental process. However, cell organelles do not spread into necrotic blebs.
