  2. Systemic inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammation

    Chronic systemic inflammation (SI) is the result of release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune-related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system.It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

  3. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore is considered a mechanism of innate immunity, whereas adaptive immunity is specific to each pathogen. [2] Inflammation is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out ...

  4. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammatory...

    In immunology, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory state affecting the whole body. [1] It is the body's response to an infectious or noninfectious insult . Although the definition of SIRS refers to it as an "inflammatory" response, it actually has pro- and anti-inflammatory components.

  5. Inflammaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammaging

    Inflammaging is thought to be caused by a loss of control over systemic inflammation resulting in chronic overstimulation of the innate immune system. Inflammaging is a significant risk factor in mortality and morbidity in aged individuals. [2] [3] [4] Inflammation is essential to protect against viral and bacterial infection, as well as ...

  6. Cytokine release syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

    In immunology, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that can be triggered by a variety of factors such as infections and certain drugs. [3] It refers to cytokine storm syndromes (CSS) [ 4 ] and occurs when large numbers of white blood cells are activated and release inflammatory cytokines ...

  7. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune-mediated...

    Inflammation is an important and growing area of biomedical research and health care because inflammation mediates and is the primary driver of many medical disorders and autoimmune diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Behçet's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and allergy ...

  8. Autoinflammatory diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoinflammatory_diseases

    Loss-of-function mutations of IL-1Ra can develop fatal systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Another example is the inability of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10, to signal through its receptor. That, again, can lead to systemic inflammation and severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This shows that even single-cytokine ...

  9. Immune-selective anti-inflammatory derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune-selective_anti...

    One SGP-T derivative is a three amino acid sequence shown to be a potent anti-inflammatory molecule with systemic effects. This three amino acid peptide is phenylalanine-glutamine-glycine (FEG) and its D-isomeric form (feG), have become the foundation for the ImSAID category.
