Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) are a class of compounds that are biosynthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and exhibit pro-resolving capabilities. Although the subset lipoxins were initially discovered nearly 40 years ago, the role of SPMs in the progression and resolution of inflammation is still being explored and new SPMs are being discovered to this day.
