Abstract:
The following provides a summary of the 16th World Congress on Inflammation (WCI 2024), which took place in Québec City (Canada) from July 21 to 24, 2024. At the meeting, researchers from around the world presented their latest findings which transcended fundamental and clinical science in the field of inflammation. Participants shared original work which covered a multitude of topics and discussed practical aspects of their research including the application of new diagnostic strategies and medical therapeutic technologies. Among the main topics discussed at the congress were: immunometabolism, immunity, infectious diseases, pathology of the lungs, skin and musculoskeletal system, microbiota, mucosal inflammation, neuro-inflammation, pain, targets in the treatment of inflammation and much more. The overarching theme of the event was "Inflammation in Health and Disease: A Balancing Act".
