Summary

The concept of targeting protective prostaglandin receptors therapeutically after stroke is supported, as Expression of EP4 was robust in neurons and markedly induced in endothelial cells after ischemia-reperfusion, suggesting that neuronal and/or endothelial EP4 signaling imparts cerebroprotection.
