MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF INFLAMMATION
Abstract
The inflammatory process is a complex, multi-stage protective biological response of the body to infectious agents, mechanical injuries, chemicals and immunological disorders. This process is aimed at limiting tissue damage, eliminating pathogenic factors and restoring homeostasis, and is carried out through mechanisms that are precisely controlled at the molecular level. In recent years, the development of molecular biology, immunology and genetic research has allowed us to better understand the pathogenesis of inflammation.
