    Journal Article

    Highlights • TNF (despite its name) failed clinical trials as an anti-cancer agent. • TNF is a critical component of cell death and inflammation. • Therapeutic blockade of TNF by mAbs and TNFR-fusion proteins ameliorates inflammatory diseases. • Anti-TNF biologics are currently being investigated in neuropathology. • New anti-TNF therapeutics are required to simultaneously permit TNF's role in normal biology and/or selectively block individual TNFR pathways.
