Inflammation is a fundamental biological response triggered by the immune system to protect the body against injury, infection, or harmful stimuli. While acute inflammation is a critical part of healing, helping to isolate and eliminate threats, chronic inflammation can contribute to a wide range of diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions. Research into inflammation explores the delicate balance between protective and damaging effects, uncovering molecular pathways, immune responses, and potential therapies aimed at managing or preventing inflammation-related illnesses.
