The mitogenic potential of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor in the human endometrium is mediated by the epidermal growth factor receptor and is modulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha [PDF]
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is implicated in a variety of biological processes, including reproduction.

Distinct Mechanisms for Induction and Tolerance Regulate the Immediate Early Genes Encoding Interleukin 1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α [PDF]
Interleukin-1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α play related, but distinct, roles in immunity and disease. Our study revealed major mechanistic distinctions in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling-dependent induction for the rapidly expressed genes (IL1B ...

Listeria Cerebritis with Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibition
Background. Listeria monocytogenes is historically a central nervous system pathogen of consideration in the very young, very old, and immune suppressed. Diagnosis of Listeria is based on positive bodily fluid culture or PCR testing.

Locally up-regulated lymphotoxin a, not systemic tumor necrosis factor a, is the principle mediator of murine cerebral malaria [PDF]
Cerebral malaria (CM) causes death in children and nonimmune adults. TNF-{alpha} has been thought to play a key role in the development of CM. In contrast, the role of the related cyto-kine lymphotoxin {alpha} (LT{alpha}) in CM has been overlooked.

Profile of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Levels in Childhood Malignancy with Febrile Neutropenia [PDF]
Infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood malignancy with Febrile Neutropenia (FN). Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) is involved in host defense against bacterial invasion.

miR-29a suppresses MCF-7 cell growth by downregulating tumor necrosis factor receptor 1
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 is the main receptor mediating many tumor necrosis factor-alpha–induced cellular events. Some studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 promotes tumorigenesis by activating nuclear factor-kappa B signaling ...
