Mechanisms of inflammation resolution by Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators
Inflammation is an immunovascular process occurring upon pathogen infection and pathological conditions. Strong evidence from the last two decades shows that termination of inflammation is not a passive process but instead, is actively terminated. Such Inflammation Resolution (IR) stops tissue damaging processes while enhancing immune response and tissue repair. Enhancing IR has the potential to improve treatments in chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration and cancer. Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs) are lipid-derived molecules with a pivotal role in inducing IR and act through putative orphan G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the surface…
