A chronic inflammatory cell is a type of immune cell that is involved in the ongoing inflammation process in the body. These cells are typically present in tissues that are chronically inflamed, such as in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or chronic infections. Examples of chronic inflammatory cells include macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. These cells release inflammatory mediators and cytokines that perpetuate the inflammatory response and can contribute to tissue damage and disease progression.
