Modeling and Role of Leukocytes in Inflammation

Inflammation is a protective response of the body to infection or injury. When the body tissue is damaged by infection or injury, inflammatory response is triggered to remove the foreign invaders or start the healing process. In some diseases, such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory response is triggered inappropriately and the inflammatory cells damage the normal tissues. This suggests that those diseases can be treated by interfering with the inflammatory process.
