Most-cited papers in Channels

Pannexin channels are not gap junction hemichannels

Gina E. Sosinsky, Daniela Boassa, Rolf Dermietzel et al. · 1 May 2011

Pannexins, a class of membrane channels, bear significant sequence homology with the invertebrate gap junction proteins, innexins and more distant similarities in their membrane topologies and pharmacological sensitivities with the gap junction proteins, connexins. However, the functional role for the pannexin oligomers, or pannexons, is different from connexin oligomers, the connexons. Many pannexin publications have…

Molecular characterization of TRPA1 channel activation by cysteine-reactive inflammatory mediators

Nobuaki Takahashi, Yusuke Mizuno, Daisuke Kozai et al. · 4 Jul 2008

TRPA1 is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel family, and is predominantly expressed in nociceptive neurons of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and trigeminal ganglia. Activation of TRPA1 by environmental irritants such as mustard oil, allicin and acrolein causes acute pain. However, the endogenous ligands that directly activate TRPA1 remain elusive in…

Contributions of T-type calcium channel isoforms to neuronal firing

Stuart M. Cain, Terrance P. Snutch · 30 Nov 2010

Low voltage-activated (LVA) T-type calcium channels play critical roles in the excitability of many cell types and are a focus of research aimed both at understanding the physiological basis of calcium channel-dependent signaling and the underlying pathophysiology associated with hyperexcitability disorders such as epilepsy. These channels play a critical role towards neuronal firing in both…

Gating the mechanical channel Piezo1

Philip A. Gottlieb, Chilman Bae, Frederick Sachs · 1 Jul 2012

Piezo1 is a eukaryotic cation-selective mechanosensitive ion channel. To understand channel function in vivo, we first need to analyze and compare the response in the whole cell and the patch. In patches, Piezo1 inactivates and the current is fit well by a 3-state model with a single pressure-dependent rate. However, repeated stimulation led to an…

Voltage-gated sodium channels and metastatic disease

William J. Brackenbury · 10 Sep 2012

Voltage-gated Na (+) channels (VGSCs) are macromolecular protein complexes containing a pore-forming α subunit and smaller non-pore-forming β subunits. VGSCs are expressed in metastatic cells from a number of cancers. In these cells, Na (+) current carried by α subunits enhances migration, invasion and metastasis in vivo. In contrast, the β subunits mediate cellular adhesion…

Channels template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Channels format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Channels template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Channels use?
Channels uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) 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, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Channels 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Channels?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Channels 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 Channels template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Channels format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Channels?
Channels is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Channels template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Channels PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Channels template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Channels template cost?
You can start writing in the Channels template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Channels PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
