Editorial note on chronic inflammatory conditions

Abstract

Aleah Ahadi

Inflammation is your body's attempt to heal itself by fighting against things that hurt it, such as infections, injuries, and toxins. When your cells are damaged, your body releases substances that cause your immune system to respond. This response includes the release of antibodies and proteins, as well as increased blood flow to the damaged area. The whole process usually lasts for a few hours or days in the case of acute inflammation. some time, this can prompt DNA harm, tissue passing, and inner scarring. All of these are linked to the development of several diseases, including cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes, obesity, asthma.
