Inflammation

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. The immune system is often involved with inflammatory disorders, in both allergic reactions and some myopathies, resulting in an abnormal inflammatory response.
