Pulmonary inflammation refers to an inflammatory response that occurs in the lungs, often in response to infection, allergens, pollutants, or other irritants. This area of research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of inflammation in the lungs, how it contributes to various respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia, and developing new treatments to target and reduce inflammation in the lungs. Researchers in this field explore the role of immune cells, cytokines, and other mediators in driving inflammation in the lungs, as well as the potential impact of inflammation on lung function and overall health. By better understanding pulmonary inflammation, researchers hope to develop more effective therapies for respiratory conditions and improve outcomes for patients with lung diseases.
