“TRPM8 Channels Regulate Herpes Simplex Keratitis Infection in Mice by Modulating Immune Cell Infiltration and Viral Load”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117245

The abstract indicates that the absence of TRPM8 channels exacerbates Herpes Simplex Keratitis infection in mice by promoting the infiltration of CD11b+ Ly6G+ cells and increasing the viral load in the cornea, while TRPM8 activation via its agonist menthol alleviates infection symptoms.
