Abstract

Inflammation is an essential immune response that enables survival during infection or injury and maintains tissue homeostasis under a variety of noxious conditions. Inflammation comes at the cost of a transient decline in tissue function, which can in turn contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases of altered homeostasis.

摘要

炎症是一种基本的免疫反应，使机体在感染或损伤时能够存活，并在多种有害条件下维持组织的内稳状态。炎症是以组织功能的短暂下降为代价的，而这种下降反过来又可能导致内稳状态改变的疾病的发病机制。
