Inflammatory mediators in wound healing.

This article provides much evidence that the inflammatory process has direct effects on normal and abnormal wound healing. As better understanding develops for the mechanism for these outcomes, targeted proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory interventions are likely to be successful. When inflammation is maintained as a regulated and orchestrated response, effective and normal wound healing is l...

Inflammatory mediators of pain.

While sensory fibres normally respond to a range of physical and chemical stimuli their activity and metabolism are profoundly altered by a variety of mediators generated by tissue injury and inflammation. These include substances produced by damaged tissue, substances of vascular origin as well as substances released by afferent fibres themselves, sympathetic fibres and various immune cells. T...

Inflammatory Mediators of Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis gained a stable position in the field of patho-genesis. Vascular changes are a recognized hallmark of cancer growth, inflammatory disorders, and retina disorders, particularly in the context of diabetes. The inflammatory process, defined by the release of mediators from activated neutro-phils, macrophages, and other myeloid cells, intersects with vascular changes, but the nature of...
