Lasers for light scattering measurement and fluorescence excitation are essential components of all flow cytometers. Flow cytometers now typically rely on multiple laser wavelengths allowing excitation of a constantly increasing variety of fluorescent probes. The expanding use of spectral flow cytometry to increase the magnitude of multiparametric analysis is also changing the significance of laser choice in cytometry. In this chapter, we review the lasers available for flow cytometry and provide guidance in choosing laser wavelengths and characteristics to best match the needs of modern cell analysis by both conventional and spectral cytometry. We also discuss the recent advances in laser technology as the push to expand the palette of laser wavelength for cytometry continues.

Background: Epidemiological studies associate an increase in breast cancer risk, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with lack of breastfeeding. This is more prevalent in African American women, with significantly lower rate of breastfeeding compared to Caucasian women. Prolonged breastfeeding leads to gradual involution (GI), whereas short-term or lack of breastfeeding leads to abrupt involution (AI) of the breast.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits a cellular hierarchy with a subpopulation of stem-like cells known as glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumor growth and contribute to treatment resistance. NAD(H) emerges as a crucial factor influencing GSC maintenance through its involvement in diverse biological processes, including mitochondrial fitness and DNA damage repair. However, how GSCs leverage metabolic adaptation to obtain survival advantage remains elusive.

Objectives: SOX10 is crucially implicated in various cancer, yet the regulatory role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains enigmatic. Underlying molecular mechanisms of SOX10 in PC were explored in our study.
Methods: Relationships between SOX10 and immune landscape were estimated using bioinformatic approaches.

Background: Specific molecular mechanisms by which AURKA promoted LSCC metastasis were still unknown.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis was performed the relationship between TRIM28 and LSCC. Immunohistochemistry, Co-IP assay, Rt-PCR and Western Blot were used to examine the expression of related molecular.

During nasal polyp (NP) development, activated T cells differentiate into T helper (Th) 1, Th2, and Th17 cells. Additionally, regulatory T cells (Tregs) that have an immune suppressive function are involved in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with NP (CRSwNP). Tregs can act as effector cells that produce inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-17A.
