Abstract excerpt
Recent progress in the biological sciences has revealed that a number of extrinsic and intrinsic environmental factors may cause chronic inflammation. When these insults are persistent or intermittently repeated, regardless of extrinsic or intrinsic origins, homeostasis of our bodies would be disturbed and undergo long-term impact. These situations might give rise to chronic inflammation, leading to various...
