Pharmacological research, 2008•ElsevierThis brief overview is focused on the inherent duality of immune responses: on the one hand
they may induce inflammation and precipitate injury, on the other, a number of examples of
participation in organ and tissue repair are growing. These processes will be reviewed from
the nephrological stand-point. Specifically, the role of different leukocyte subsets, innate
immunity, nitric oxide production, and stem cells, among others, are presented.
