Channels

Aims & Scope

Channels is an open access journal for all aspects of ion channel research.

The journal publishes high quality papers that shed new light on ion channel and ion transporter/exchanger function, structure, biophysics, pharmacology, and regulation in health and disease.

Channels welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that address ion channel physiology in areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular sciences, cancer research, endocrinology, and gastroenterology.

Our aim is to foster communication among the ion channel and transporter communities and facilitate the advancement of the field.
