Chapter 1
Nonresolving Inflammation
“When a pathogen comes into contact with the host, a struggle [war] between the pathogen and the local innate host defense systems ensues. The resolution of this encounter is a critical determinant of whether the interaction leads to infection and overt disease.” ~Lu and Walker, 2001
“Inflammation is a normal and vital protective response to the harmful stimuli such as infectious agents, antigen-antibody reactions, thermal, chemical, physical agents, and ischemia [injury from low blood flow].” ~Kulkarni et al., 2006, emphasis added
“The usual result of inflammation is protection from the spread of infection, followed by resolution—the restoration of affected tissues to their normal structural and functional state.”
“The problem with inflammation is not how often it starts, but how often it fails to subside. Perhaps no single phenomenon contributes more to the medical burden in industrialized societies than nonresolving inflammation.” ~Nathan and Ding, 2010, emphasis added
“It appears that a central factor in virtually all inflammatory modulatory genes is NF-ĸB.” ~Neish, 2002
