In response to cell injury elicited by trauma or infection, the inflammatory response creates a complex network of molecular and cellular interactions leading to the facilitation of tissue repair and to return to a physiological homeostatic condition. In case the healthy tissue is not restored, or in response to a stable low-grade irritation, inflammation becomes a chronic condition that incessantly damages the surrounding tissue and whereby immune response, tissue injury, and healing processes occur simultaneously [1].
