Harvard Medical School researchers explore how chronic inflammation drives autoimmune, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases.

But there is growing evidence that chronic or acute inflammation can fuel the development of a range of chronic ailments, including autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, heart and metabolic diseases and more.
