title: Resolving resolvins.
abstract: In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Dalli and colleagues report the chemical structures of resolvin D3 (RvD3) and aspirin-triggered RvD3, derived from the ω3-fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid. These compounds have a specific temporal appearance within inflammation resolution and display anti-inflammatory and proresolving properties. Together, the results will help design new resolvin mimetics, potential resolution agonists with anti-inflammatory properties.
