CO2-evoked release of PGE2 modulates sighs and inspiration as demonstrated in brainstem organotypic culture

Inflammation-induced release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) changes breathing patterns and the response to CO2 levels. This may have fatal consequences in newborn babies and result in sudden infant death. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we present a novel breathing brainstem organotypic culture...
