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...

Local intracellular Ca2+ signals result from Ca2+ flux into the cytosol through individual channels or clusters of channels.

Several methods have previously been proposed to derive Ca2+ flux from fluorescence images, but all require explicit knowledge or assumptions regarding these processes. We now present a novel algorithm that requires few assumptions and is largely model-independent.
