There have been many chapters written about macrophage polarization. These chapters
generally focus on the role of macrophages in orchestrating immune responses by …

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are enzymatically derived from essential fatty
acids and have important roles in orchestrating the resolution of tissue inflammation—that is …

Abstract Leukotrienes (LTs) and prostaglandins (PGs) amplify acute inflammation, whereas
lipoxins (LXs) have unique anti-inflammatory actions. Temporal analyses of these …

Resolution of inflammation and the return of tissues to homeostasis are essential. Efforts to
identify molecular events governing termination of self-limited inflammation uncovered …

Innate immunity normally provides excellent defence against invading microorganisms.
Acute inflammation is a form of innate immune defence and represents one of the primary …

Aspirin [acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)], along with its analgesic-antipyretic uses, is now also
being considered for cardiovascular protection and treatments in cancer and human …

The periodontal diseases are infectious diseases caused by predominantly Gram-negative
bacteria. However, as our understanding of the pathogenesis of the periodontal diseases …

Acute inflammation in the lung is essential to health. So too is its resolution. In response to
invading microbes, noxious stimuli, or tissue injury, an acute inflammatory response is …

The resolution of the inflammatory response is highly regulated by the timely biosynthesis of
a number of endogenous lipid mediators. Among these, lipoxins (LX) and their 15-epimers …

Lipoxins (LXs) or the lipoxygenase interaction products are generated from arachidonic acid
via sequential actions of lipoxygenases and subsequent reactions to give specific …
