Inflammation is normally a short-lived and beneficial response to infection or injury. However, in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation persists in the absence of infection or injury, causing pain, disfunction and disfigurement. It is possible that persistent inflammation is due to the failure of resolution mechanisms, which would normally help to terminate an inflammatory response. In this project we are exploring the idea of stimulating or reactivating one of the body s natural inflammatory off-switches in order to treat chronic inflammatory diseases.

炎症通常是对感染或伤害的短暂且有益的反应。然而，在类风湿关节炎等疾病中，在没有感染或受伤的情况下，炎症持续存在，导致疼痛，失效和毁容。持续性炎症可能是由于解决机制的失败，这通常有助于终止炎症反应。在这个项目中，我们正在探索刺激或重新激活体内自然炎症偏离开关的想法，以治疗慢性炎症性疾病。
