Despite the clinical success of therapeutics that inhibit TNF, gaps remain about the biology of this pleiotropic cytokine. This Review explores the latest discoveries related to TNF signalling pathways, TNF-induced gene expression, and the homeostatic and pathogenic functions of TNF, as well as the implications of these findings for therapeutics for TNF-mediated diseases.
