This study identifies differences in cold sensing mechanisms between trigeminal and vagal neurons, highlighting TRPA1's role in visceral cold transduction and organ-specific sensitivity.

This study identifies molecular changes in the naked mole-rat that enhance cold sensing through expanded TRPM8 expression and alternative cold detection mechanisms.

This study identifies TRPM8 ion channels as direct targets of rapamycin in sensory neurons, showing RAP activates TRPM8 and induces tearing via TRPM8-dependent mechanisms.

The paper evaluates six commercial antibodies for detecting TRPM8 using western blot, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry, finding two broadly effective and four with limited utility.
