Accumulating evidence indicates the crucial contribution of chronic inflammation to various types of carcinogenesis, including colon carcinoma associated with ulcerative colitis and asbestosis-induced malignant mesothelioma. Ulcerative colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis can be recapitulated in mice by azoxymethane administration followed by repetitive

Inflammation is increasingly viewed as a new therapeutic target in subacute stages of brain infarction. However, apart from causing secondary damage, inflammation could equally promote beneficial lesion remodeling and repair. Distinct subpopulations of monocytes/macrophages (MOs/MPs) may critically determine the outcome
