5. The role of angiopoietin-like 4 in inflammation
Abstract : Inflammation is a homeostatically fundamental feature of the host defence surveillance system made up of an army of sentinel cells that guard against foreign intrusion. At the onslaught of an attack, primary immune responders (macrophages and neutrophils) secrete a plethora of cytokines and chemokines that attract secondary responders (T and B cells) to the site of inflammation, to eliminate the intrusion and encourage tissue healing.
