Why does chronic inflammation impair resolution differently compared to acute inflammation within a tissue undergoing repair?

💡 Explanation

Chronic inflammation hinders resolution because the sustained presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines downregulates the production of pro-resolving mediators like lipoxins and resolvins; therefore the inflammation persists, rather than shifting towards tissue repair, because the necessary signals for resolution are lacking.
