title: 6th World Congress on Inflammation.
abstract: The 6th World Congress on Inflammation was held in the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center. This biennial meeting was organised by the Inflammation Research Association (USA) and Triangle 3 Ltd (UK), under the auspices of the International Association of Inflammation Societies. This meeting aimed to promote international cooperation amongst inflammation scientists and provide a communication network for various inflammation societies from around the world. The conference covered the most up-to-date concepts in inflammation, new drugs and treatments, and advances in cell biology. However, there were some topics which were either novel to many attendees or which provided links to a number of presentations, thus underlining their importance. The following is by no means an exhaustive review, but merely reflects the authors' interests.
