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损伤的短暂且有益的反应。然而，在类风湿性关节炎等疾病中，炎症在没有感染或损伤的情况下持续存在，导致疼痛、功能障碍和毁容。持续性炎症可能是由于消退机制失败所致，而消退机制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人体自然炎症开关之一的想法，以治疗慢性炎症疾病。
