| Summary: | Most infections and traumatic injuries are cleared or repaired relatively rapidly and metabolic homoeostasis is soon restored. However, there is a broad range of inflammatory

persistent inflammation. We have been studying the metabolic consequences of chronic
inflammatory diseases with the aim of identifying metabolic fingerprints which may
provide clues about why the localised tissue disease persists. |
