Chronic inflammation is directly linked to tissue injury as it involves a persistent inflammatory response that causes ongoing damage to healthy tissues [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, the release of inflammatory cytokines and enzymes by infiltrating cells during this process actively contributes to the progression of tissue damage [4], [5], and [6].

claimIn chronic inflammation, infiltrating macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells produce inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes, which contribute to tissue damage progression and secondary repair processes such as fibrosis and granuloma formation.

claimThe hallmarks of chronic inflammation include the infiltration of primary inflammatory cells—specifically macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells—into the tissue site, where they produce inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes that contribute to tissue damage and secondary repair processes like fibrosis and granuloma formation.
