molecular signals triggering the body's response to harmful stimuli

Inflammatory pathways, also known as inflammatory signaling pathways, are a series of molecular signals and reactions that the body uses to respond to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. These pathways involve various cells and proteins, including cytokines and chemokines, which work together to initiate and regulate inflammation, ultimately aiming to protect and heal the body. Understanding these pathways is crucial for developing treatments for conditions like alopecia, where inflammation can play a significant role in hair loss.
