Much progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms that regulate the induction and progression of inflammatory diseases. More recently, however, it has become apparent that the manipulation of mechanisms governing the resolution of inflammation is an important way to develop novel strategies for the therapy of such diseases. This book provides readers with an up-to-date and comprehensive view on the resolution of inflammation and on new developments in this area, such as pro-resolution mediators, apoptosis, macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, novel drug developments, and more. This topical volume is of interest to medical and scientific researchers in academia and industry working on inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases such as arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, atherosclerosis, and more.
