Abstract
Quantitative aspects of extracellular H2O2 signaling in animals, such as its spatiotemporal dynamics within tissues, remain little understood. Here we detail an optimized, experimental setup for measuring the dynamics and physiological consequences of extracellular H2O2 application to live tissues by intravital biosensor imaging in zebrafish larvae.
