title: More insights into the complex physiology of TNF.
abstract: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a multifactorial cytokine involved in a plethora of cell regulatory and differentiative processes, was the subject of a recent conference. It is perhaps best known as a major player in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases but TNF clearly has many beneficial effects and is considered to be a promising therapeutic agent.
