Protocol for measuring mitochondrial and cytosolic calcium dynamics using live cell imaging?

12 December 2017 0 6K Report

Hi,

I am looking for a detailed protocol where I can measure both mitochondrial and cytosolic calcium dynamics using live cell imaging? The buffer conditions and the optimal ionophore concentration to be used?

thanks
