Various biochemical substances enroll the processes. For example, cytokines (e.g. interleukins) secreted from immune cells such as macrophage, T cell or B cell induce an acute inflammation, trigger the proliferation and/or differentiation of other immune cells and regulate the chemo-attractant migration of immune cells. These acute inflammatory responses are usually ceased when the stimulant is removed and the biochemical reactions are useful to maintain the living organisms. .. View More»
