Abstract

The cell cycle of a cell is tightly controlled by several regulators. Dysregulation of cell cycle can lead to uncontrolled cell division which is one of the main characteristics of cancer cells. DNA content of a cell is changed during the cell cycle progression and can be measured by flow cytometry. In this chapter, we aim to provide a detailed protocol on how to analyze the cell cycle using flow cytometry. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
