    GlossaryInflammatory Mediators (inflammatory agents)

    substances released to initiate and regulate inflammation

    Inflammatory mediators are substances released by immune cells and other tissues in response to injury or infection, which help to initiate and regulate the inflammatory response. These can include cytokines, prostaglandins, and histamines, among others, and they play crucial roles in signaling pathways that lead to symptoms like redness, swelling, and pain. Understanding these mediators is essential for developing treatments for conditions like alopecia, where inflammation can contribute to hair loss.
