Granulocyte Apoptosis and Its Role in the Resolution and Control of Lung Inflammation

Abstract excerpt

Elucidation of the poorly understood mechanisms by which acute inflammation normally resolves is likely to provide new insights into the pathogenesis of persistent inflammatory states that characterize inflammatory disease and generate new therapeutic targets. We have concentrated on the mechanisms by which granulocytes and their histotoxic contents are cleared from inflamed sites during resolution. Although it...
