Inflammation is a primary defense process against various extracellular stimuli, such as viruses, pathogens, foods, and environmental pollutants. When cells respond to stimuli for short periods of time, it results in acute or physiological inflammation. However, if the stimulation is sustained for longer time or a pathological state occurs, it is known as chronic or pathological inflammation. Several studies have...
