Human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) under compression for 3 hours. When lacking cell-cell adhesion, hMECs appear to continuously bleb. Cells can even project long protrusions (02:37) that probe their local environment, presumably as a mechanism to establish more cell-cell interactions. See the article by Kittur et al. in the October 17 issue of Biophysical Journal (http://www.cell.com/biophysj/fulltext/S0006-3495(17)30921-9).
