Nature Insight Inflammation
Inflammation is our body's immediate response to damage to its
tissues and cells by pathogens or noxious stimuli such as chemicals
or physical injury. While initiation and the process of acute
inflammation are reasonably well defined, much less is known about
the causes and pathways associated with chronic inflammation. This
Insight highlights recent advances in our knowledge of the exogenous
and endogenous inducers of chronic inflammation, the inflammatory
mediators and the cells that carry out the response.
Read the Insight in the 24th July issue of Nature or access it online.
