Flow cytometry is a laboratory technique used to measure and analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of individual cells or particles as they flow in a fluid stream past one or more laser beams. As each cell passes through the beam, it scatters light and emits fluorescence from attached markers, allowing rapid, quantitative assessment of properties such as cell size, granularity, surface and intracellular proteins, DNA content, and viability. The technique can analyze thousands of cells per second and, in its sorting form, physically separate cell populations based on defined characteristics. Flow cytometry is fundamental to cell biology, immunology, hematology, and clinical diagnostics, where it is used to identify and quantify cell types, detect rare cells, characterize tumors, and monitor immune responses. Research relevant to this area within the journal's scope includes work on immunoassays and immunogenomic approaches for monitoring cancer and infectious disease, study of cell-surface marker expression such as Neuropilin-1/CD304 in leukemogenesis, analysis of apoptosis and glucose levels in stored platelets, and characterization of immune responses, all of which rely on or relate to single-cell analysis. By enabling precise, multiparameter measurement of cells, flow cytometry underpins a wide range of biological and medical investigation. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to cell analysis, immunology, and cellular diagnostics.
