The 75 pages that link to Inflammation, each with the reason it gives.
Wound healingRelated: Early inflammation clears microbes and damaged material while signaling cells involved in repair.
AtherosclerosisRelated: Persistent inflammation helps sustain plaque growth and can weaken its protective fibrous cap.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugNarrower topic: NSAIDs suppress parts of this response rather than removing its underlying cause.
CytokineNarrower topic: Cytokines coordinate many of the signals that initiate and sustain inflammation.
PhagocytosisRelated: Phagocyte activity can initiate, amplify, or resolve inflammatory responses.
CortisolRelated: Cortisol limits inflammatory signaling, which underlies some therapeutic uses and risks.
Acne vulgarisRelated: Inflammation turns follicular blockage into red, tender acne lesions.
Immune systemRelated: It brings immune cells and molecules to threatened or damaged tissue.
EdemaCompared with: Inflammation may produce edema, but it is a broader biological response rather than fluid accumulation alone.
CellulitisNarrower topic: Inflammation produces the redness, warmth, swelling, and pain seen in infected skin.
Omega-3 fatty acidRelated: Omega-3-derived lipids can influence inflammatory signaling and its resolution.
CyclooxygenaseRelated: Inflammatory signals can increase COX-2 expression and prostaglandin production.
InfectionCompared with: Inflammation may result from infection, but can also arise without one.
ProstaglandinNarrower topic: Prostaglandins help shape the vascular and sensory components of inflammatory responses.
PneumoniaNarrower topic: Inflammation drives swelling and fluid buildup in infected lung tissue.
Innate immune systemRelated: Innate detection often triggers inflammation to recruit defenses and contain damage.
AnalgesicRelated: Inflammation produces mediators that contribute to pain and are targets of NSAIDs.
Arachidonic acidRelated: Several arachidonic-acid metabolites promote or resolve inflammatory responses.
AntihistamineNarrower topic: Histamine contributes to inflammation, though antihistamines do not suppress every inflammatory pathway.
PathologyRelated: It is a common response that shapes tissue damage and repair.
EicosanoidNarrower topic: Eicosanoids help coordinate inflammatory onset, intensity, and resolution.
DermatologyNarrower topic: Inflammatory pathways underlie many rashes and shape their signs and symptoms.
Adaptive immune systemRelated: Innate inflammation helps initiate and shape adaptive responses.
Interleukin 6Narrower topic: IL-6 helps coordinate both local inflammation and its systemic effects.
C-reactive proteinNarrower topic: CRP concentration reflects inflammatory signaling rather than a single underlying disease.
DiseaseRelated: Inflammation can be a defense, a disease mechanism, or both.
NecrosisRelated: Necrotic cell contents can signal damage and initiate this response.
Paracrine signalingRelated: Paracrine cytokines and other mediators coordinate responses among nearby cells at affected tissue.
Tumor necrosis factorNarrower topic: TNF is one of the signals that initiates and sustains this broader response.
TurmericRelated: Anti-inflammatory effects are a major proposed explanation for curcumin’s studied health benefits.
BiocompatibilityRelated: Inflammation is a common response used to judge how tissue reacts to materials.
Spider biteRelated: Local inflammation explains many ordinary symptoms around a bite.
Wound careRelated: Some inflammation is part of repair, but excessive or persistent inflammation can delay healing.
Acute painRelated: Inflammation releases mediators that can produce tenderness and sensitize pain pathways.
Alpha-linolenic acidRelated: Omega-3 metabolism can alter lipid signaling pathways associated with inflammatory responses.
Linoleic acidRelated: Research examines whether linoleic-acid metabolism alters inflammatory signaling, rather than treating the fatty acid as inflammation itself.
BradykininRelated: Bradykinin is one mediator that helps produce vascular changes and pain during inflammation.
Bacterial infectionRelated: Inflammation produces many signs and symptoms during bacterial disease.
Élie MetchnikoffRelated: Metchnikoff connected the arrival of phagocytes at injured tissue with cellular defense.
Omega-6 fatty acidRelated: Omega-6-derived mediators participate in inflammatory signaling, but effects vary by molecule and context.
TendinopathyCompared with: Tendinopathy is not synonymous with inflammation, despite inflammatory signaling sometimes occurring in tendon tissue.
FistulaRelated: Persistent inflammation can damage tissue and sustain a fistula.
PharyngitisNarrower topic: Its local immune response accounts for much of the soreness and swelling.
SalmonellosisRelated: The intestinal inflammatory response contributes to diarrhea and other symptoms.
Tinea corporisRelated: Local inflammation makes the advancing edge red, raised, and scaly.
AcneNarrower topic: Inflammatory responses produce the redness, swelling, and tenderness of many acne lesions.
ArthritisNarrower topic: Inflammation drives pain and swelling in many arthritides, though not all joint damage is inflammatory.
CaspaseRelated: Inflammatory caspases process cytokines that help initiate immune responses.
RheumatologyRelated: Persistent inflammation drives pain and tissue damage in many conditions rheumatologists treat.
Abdominal painNarrower topic: Inflammation is a common mechanism behind painful abdominal disorders.
