Inflammation: The Cause of All Diseases
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation refers to the defensive response of living tissue with vascular system to inflammatory factors and local damage. When your body activates the immune system, it releases inflammatory cells. These cells attack infection from external invaders, such as bacteria and viruses, or heal damaged tissue. Inflammatory reactions include symptoms such as redness, heat, and pain. Inflammation is the protective measure of the innate immune system to remove harmful stimuli or pathogens and promote repair, rather than targeting specific pathogens like the acquired immune system. Inflammation is also a symptom of many diseases. This Topic encourages contributors to explore the biological and clinical aspects of inflammation leading to disease causes, symptoms, and treatment. An understanding of these mechanisms can aid in the development of new therapeutic agents aimed at eradicating these diseases. Topics welcome original research papers as well as critiques and opinion papers. Special clinical cases may also be included.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
