    GlossaryInflammatory Cell Infiltration

    movement of immune cells into tissue due to injury or infection

    Inflammatory cell infiltration refers to the movement of immune cells, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils, into a tissue in response to injury or infection. This process is a hallmark of inflammation and can be observed in various conditions, including autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
