A model-independent algorithm to derive Ca2+ fluxes underlying local cytosolic Ca2+ transients

Local intracellular Ca2+ signals result from Ca2+ flux into the cytosol through individual channels or clusters of channels. To gain a mechanistic understanding of these events we need to know the magnitude and spatial distribution of the underlying Ca2+ flux. However, this is difficult to infer fro...
