Abstract
Endothelial cell proliferation rate is an important indicator of vascular health. Being able to detect the rate of endothelial cell proliferation, or cell cycle disturbances after intervention is a valuable tool for analysing any beneficial or detrimental effects of treatments in vitro. Here, we describe a straightforward flow cytometric-based method of proliferation and cell cycle tracking that can be performed on human endothelial cells in culture over several days.
