A two-photon FRAP protocol to measure the stereociliary membrane diffusivity in rat cochlear hair cells

Summary: Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) has been widely used to monitor membrane properties by measuring the lateral diffusion of fluorescent particles. This protocol describes how to perform two-photon FRAP on the stereocilia of live cochlear inner hair cells using a lipophilic d...
