Key takeaways
- 01A report from a conference on the resolution of inflammation
- 02Ending inflammation is an active biological process
- 03The process may hold the key to treating chronic diseases
- 04Summarizes perspectives from five experts in the field
Understanding how inflammation actively resolves may lead to new treatments for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Abstract
Immunology organized a conference that brought together scientists and clinicians from both academia and industry to discuss one of the most pressing questions in medicine--how do we turn off rampant, undesirable inflammation? There is a growing appreciation that, similarly to the initiation of inflammation, the resolution of inflammation is an intricate and active process. Can we therefore harness the mediators involved in resolution responses to treat patients with chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases? Here, we ask five of the speakers from the conference to share their thoughts on this emerging field.
