Obviously, as you get older growth becomes less necessary, and cancers very much like to grow too ... so there is a trade off going on and the balance shifts so that inflammation is less desirable as we age.
A couple of good inflammation for growth examples:
Wound healing has an inflammatory phase. [0]
"There is a known relationship between inflammation and muscle growth.For instance, high doses of anti-inflammatory medicines (e.g., NSAIDs) are able to blunt muscle growth." [1]
