Inflammation is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators aimed at eliminating the initial cause of cell injury, clearing out damaged cells and tissues, and establishing repair. It does not inherently result in dysfunction and should not be avoided as it is a crucial step in the healing process.
