Titanium is thought to improve the metal skin interface by inciting a smaller inflammatory response than stainless steel.
In contrast, grease injuries cause a small inflammatory response and have a lower amputation rate but are associated with oleogranuloma formation, fistulas, scarring and loss of digit function.
In the absence of Lp-PLA2, inflammatory leukocyte recruitment was blunted, yielding a smaller inflammatory response that correlated with improved healing and heart function 7 and 21 days later, respectively.
This continuous down-regulation of genes in the middle part of the small intestine suggests a diminished inflammatory response to the high-fat diet.
THCPSi elicits little inflammatory response [25, 28].

If one looks in detail at the immunological effects that are induced by the infusion of MSCs, it can be observed that MSCs induce small inflammatory responses shortly after infusion [ 69], whereas it is likely that the immunosuppressive effects of MSCs take longer to occur.
These studies reveal that intracortical electrodes with smaller size, cylindrical shape, and without tethering cables produce significantly diminished inflammatory responses when compared to large, planar and tethered electrodes.
This can be explained by augmented clearance of TNF-alfa not affecting IL-1, a smaller systemic inflammatory response or to neutralization of TNF-alfa by a soluble receptor resulting in a marked attenuation of the late phase of the alcohol action [ 38].
