Inflammation

Molecular classification: Biological process

Overview

Inflammation is a complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It is a vital part of the immune system’s defense mechanism and serves to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from the original insult and the inflammatory process itself, and initiate tissue repair.
