Inflammation Pathways

Meaning

Inflammation Pathways are the complex, interconnected biochemical cascades involving a precise sequence of immune cells, signaling molecules, and transcription factors that mediate the body’s defensive response to injury, infection, or chronic metabolic insult. While acute inflammation is a necessary protective mechanism, the persistent activation of these pathways, often termed chronic low-grade inflammation, is a central driver of numerous age-related diseases and endocrine dysfunction. Monitoring and modulating these pathways is a core clinical strategy in longevity medicine.
