TRPM8 on mucosal sensory nerves regulates colitogenic responses by innate immune cells via CGRP

TRPM8 is the molecular sensor for cold; however, the physiological role of TRPM8+ neurons at mucosal surfaces is unclear. Here we evaluated the distribution and peptidergic properties of TRPM8+ fibers in naïve and inflamed colons, as well as their role in mucosal inflammation. We found that Trpm8−/−...
