Prostaglandin E2 promotes intestinal repair through an adaptive cellular response of the epithelium
Adaptive cellular responses are often required during wound repair. Following disruption of the intestinal epithelium, wound‐associated epithelial (WAE) cells form the initial barrier over the wound.

Prostaglandin E2 constrains systemic inflammation through an innate lymphoid cell–IL-22 axis
A prostaglandin barrier to inflammation Blood-borne bacterial infections and severe trauma can send the immune system into overdrive, causing it to pump out inflammatory mediators, sometimes at lethal doses. Duffin et al.

Acute Hemoperitoneum after Administration of Prostaglandin E2 for Induction of Labour
Prostaglandin E2 is widely used in obstetrics and is thought to be relatively safe for cervical ripening and induction of labour. Here we present a case in which acute hemoperitoneum was observed after administration of prostaglandin E2 in a pregnant ...
