ABSTRACT
Inammation is often depicted as a complex response to noxious agents or foreign molecules to maintain self-integrity and individuality. In this simplistic and quite reductive description, mechanisms underlying inammation are often described as linear phenomena; they have a certain predictable behavior, mainly due to the current knowledge of cell immunity, and are organized, likewise-oriented arrows sharing determined secondary ways with other systems to build up a comprehensible related information network. The major purpose of an inammatory response is to “reply” to insults and put an end to acute immune reactions, to restore a previous homeostatic balance.
