Preface Inflammation is the most fundamental defense mechanism developed by multicellular organisms [1]. Central to inflammation is the ability to discriminate noxious from non-noxious agents and to detect signs of tissue damage or cellular distress that might signal an impending danger. Given the multiplicity of foreign microorganisms which our body gets in contact with throughout its life, the ability to tell “dangerous” from “non-dangerous” is crucial because we do not want to rouse a potentially destructive response, such as inflammation, if not absolutely necessary. The immune system selected the capability to cause cell or tissue damage as an une
