[04-12-2015]New progress on treating inflammatory diseases

Inflammatory response plays significant roles in human body’s resistance outside pathogen invading, repair of tissue and adjustment of stress response. In pathology state, abnormal inflammatory response relates closely to a variety of diseases. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become a major public health problem in China, which is frequently associated with pathogen infection–induced chron...
