Inflammation is a critical part of innate immune response that is essential for exclusion of harmful stimuli and restoration of tissue homeostasis. Nonetheless, failure to resolve inflammation results in chronic inflammatory conditions, including autoimmune diseases. Conventionally, resolution of inflammation was deemed a passive process; however, evidence indicates that it entails active, highly regulated molecular and cellular events involving efferocytosis-driven macrophage reprogramming, post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms and the production of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). These processes collectively restore tissue homeostasis and prevent chronic inflammation. Emerging therapeutic approaches targeting these pathways demonstrate promising results in preclinical studies and clinical trials, enhancing resolution and improving overall disease outcome. This resulted in a paradigm shift from conventional anti-inflammatory strategies to resolution-focused treatment. Yet, challenges remain due to the complexity of resolution mechanisms and tissue-specific differences. This review summarizes current advances in inflammation resolution, emphasizing emerging concepts of resolution pharmacology. By employing endogenous mechanisms facilitating resolution, novel therapeutic applications can effectively manage several chronic inflammatory disorders.
