Abstract

In response to exogenous and endogenous danger signals the immune system launches a carefully orchestrated response known as inflammation. However, these signals can be found in higher than normal levels leading to pathological inflammation resulting in the establishment and progression of many diseases. There is a growing appreciation for the ability of inflammation systems to exhibit both beneficial and deleterious effects. Investigators are developing novel approaches to reduce aberrant inflammation. This review will highlight some of the therapeutic approaches that arise from combining medicinal chemistry and bioengineering, and discuss the disease states that are being targeted with these novel approaches.
