Inflammatory Mediators
Inflammatory mediators are important molecules which are involved in the body’s response to infection, injury, or stress. They help to activate and modulate the immune system’s responses to pathogens and other foreign substances. These molecules also play a role in tissue repair and regeneration following injury. They are involved in processes including inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and tissue remodeling. Understanding the role of inflammatory mediators is important for the development of treatments for inflammation-related diseases such as arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, increased knowledge of inflammatory mediators can help inform future diagnostic and prognostic techniques for diseases and conditions of the immune system.
