Immunobiology
Inflammation is a biological response of the immune system to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It serves to protect the body by initiating healing processes, recruiting immune cells to the site of injury or infection, and facilitating the removal of harmful agents. This complex response can be acute or chronic and is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and defense mechanisms.
