FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching)
Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) is a powerful technique widely employed in the study of biomolecules within biological systems. By selectively bleaching a small region of a sample and monitoring the subsequent fluorescence recovery, FRAP enables the investigation of molecular mobility. Its applications encompass protein dynamics, intracellular organelle movements, cytoskeleton organization, membrane dynamics, intracellular transport,…

Intracellular Transport
Intracellular transport is a vital process that ensures the proper functioning of cells by facilitating the movement of molecules, organelles, and structures within them. Two main categories of intracellular transport are vesicular transport and cytoskeletal transport. Vesicular transport relies on the use of membrane-bound vesicles to transport materials within the cell through processes like endocytosis…
