Lipoxins are lipoxygenase-derived lipid mediators with both anti-inflammatory and proresolution properties that have been demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. The bioactivity profile of lipoxins in vitro suggests that they have therapeutic potential in acute renal failure and glomerulonephritis; predictions that have been borne out to date in experimental models of renal disease. We review recent developments on the molecular basis of lipoxin bioactions mediated through receptor crosstalk and the accumulating evidence that lipoxins may have potential as novel anti-inflammatory agents.

Neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes, leading to painful symptoms like hyperalgesia. Current treatments for diabetic painful neuropathy often prove inadequate, necessitating the exploration of new pharmacological approaches. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential antinociceptive effect of aspirin-triggered lipoxin A4 (ATL), a specialized pro-resolving lipid mediator, when administered alone or in combination with cannabinoid agonists, to alleviate diabetic neuropathic pain.

Unresolved chronic inflammation, a hallmark of cancer, promotes tumor growth and metastasis in various cancer types. In contrast to blocking inflammation, stimulation of resolution of inflammation is an entirely novel approach to "resolve" inflammation. Resolution of inflammation mechanisms in cancer includes clearance of tumor debris, counter-regulation of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines, and suppression of leukocyte infiltration.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia in clinical practice, and obesity serves as a significant risk factor for its development. The underlying mechanisms of obesity-related AF remain intricate and have yet to be fully elucidated. We have identified FPR2 as a potential hub gene involved in obesity-related AF through comprehensive analysis of four transcriptome datasets from AF patients and one transcriptome dataset from obese individuals, and its expression is up-regulated in both AF and obese individuals.

Adipose tissue inflammation drives systemic pathophysiology, for instance, obesity-related cardiometabolic disease. Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators are a superfamily of endogenously produced lipids that promote the resolution of inflammation, an actively regulated process. New evidence suggests that such lipids (e.
