Link between inflammation, tissue regeneration and wound repair response

New links between inflammation and regeneration have been found by scientists, including new information on signaling pathways that are activated by a receptor protein called gp130. Almost all injuries, even minor skin scratches, trigger an inflammatory response, which provides protection against invading microbes but also turns on regenerative signals needed for healing and injury repair -- a process that is generally understood but remains mysterious in its particulars.
