Role of tumor necrosis factor-α in the human systemic endotoxin-induced transcriptome.

TNFα has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Different strategies to inhibit TNFα in patients with sepsis and chronic inflammatory conditions have shown contrasting outcomes. Although TNFα inhibitors are widely used in clinical practice, the impact of TNFα antagonis...

description TNFα has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases.
