Potential Role of Oral Rinses Targeting the Viral Lipid Envelope in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Valerie B. O’Donnell, David W. Thomas, Richard J. Stanton et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Emerging studies increasingly demonstrate the importance of the throat and salivary glands as sites of virus replication and transmission in early COVID-19 disease. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, characterized by an outer lipid membrane derived from the host cell from which it buds. While it is highly sensitive to agents that disrupt lipid biomembranes, there…

Fusion-Independent Satellite Cell Communication to Muscle Fibers During Load-Induced Hypertrophy

Kevin A. Murach, Ivan J. Vechetti, Douglas W. Van Pelt et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Abstract The “canonical” function of Pax7+ muscle stem cells (satellite cells) during hypertrophic growth of adult muscle fibers is myonuclear donation via fusion to support increased transcriptional output. In recent years, however, emerging evidence suggests that satellite cells play an important secretory role in promoting load-mediated growth. Utilizing genetically modified mouse models of delayed satellite…

Satellite Cell Depletion Disrupts Transcriptional Coordination and Muscle Adaptation to Exercise

Davis A. Englund, Vandré C. Figueiredo, Cory M. Dungan et al. · 9 Nov 2020

Satellite cells are required for postnatal development, skeletal muscle regeneration across the lifespan, and skeletal muscle hypertrophy prior to maturity. Our group has aimed to address whether satellite cells are required for hypertrophic growth in mature skeletal muscle. Here, we generated a comprehensive characterization and transcriptome-wide profiling of skeletal muscle during adaptation to exercise in…

Nucleus Type-Specific DNA Methylomics Reveals Epigenetic “Memory” of Prior Adaptation in Skeletal Muscle

Yuan Wen, Cory M. Dungan, C. Brooks Mobley et al. · 1 Jan 2021

fluorescent myonuclear labeling (HSA-GFP), sorting purification of nuclei, low-input reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), and a translatable and reversible model of exercise (progressive weighted wheel running, PoWeR), we provide the first nucleus type-specific epigenetic information on skeletal muscle adaptation and detraining. Adult (>4 mo) HSA-GFP mice performed PoWeR for 8 wk then detrained for 12…

E-Cigarettes and Cardiopulmonary Health

Robert Tarran, R. Graham Barr, Neal L. Benowitz et al. · 8 Feb 2021

E-cigarettes have surged in popularity over the last few years, particularly among youth and young adults. These battery-powered devices aerosolize e-liquids, comprised of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, typically with nicotine, flavors, and stabilizers/humectants. Although the use of combustible cigarettes is associated with several adverse health effects including multiple pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, the effects…

Function template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Function format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Function template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Function use?
Function uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Function, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Function?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Function document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Function template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Function format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Function?
Function is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Function template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Function PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Function template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Function template cost?
You can start writing in the Function template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Function PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
