Call for Papers
Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels 2026
You are invited to submit papers on Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels to be published throughout the year and highlighted in a special issue. This special issue was initiated in the context of the second Worldwide Sodium Channel Conference in Grindelwald, Switzerland, February 4 to 6, 2026.
The review process will be overseen by JGP Associate Editors Teresa Giraldez of Universidad de La Laguna in Tenerife, Spain and Jeanne Nerbonne of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. They will be assisted by Guest Editor and subject experts Angelika Lampert of the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, Hugues Abriel of University of Bern, Switzerland, and Rajesh Khanna from University of Florida, USA.
JGP welcomes submissions that focus on increasing our understanding of the role of voltage-gated sodium channels in the broad physiological and pathophysiological context. Topics of interest include but are not limited to, atomistic modelling, biophysics of gating, structural and biochemical investigations, computer simulations, cellular excitability, subcellular expression and regulation, sodium channels in diseases (cardiac, muscle, pain, epilepsy and any other) and mechanistic investigations of sodium channelopathies using new model systems, such as stem cell-derived cells. We also welcome studies involving patients suffering from sodium channel-related diseases.
Submissions of Research Articles, Communications, Hypotheses, or Methods and Approaches are specifically invited. The deadline for submission for inclusion in the special issue is September 30, 2026. Authors can now publish in JGP free of charge or pay a reduced fee to make their articles immediately Open Access—learn more about our No Fee-Low Fee policy.
