Membrane lymphotoxin-α2β is a novel tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 2 (TNFR2) agonist
In the early 1990s, it has been described that LTα and LTβ form LTα2β and LTαβ2 heterotrimers, which bind to TNFR1 and LTβR, respectively. Afterwards, the LTαβ2–LTβR system has been intensively studied while the LTα2β–TNFR1 interaction has been ignored ...

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.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor–Associated Factor 2 Mediates Mitochondrial Autophagy [PDF]
Background— Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling protects against ischemia/reperfusion–induced cardiomyocyte death, in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. TNF-receptor–associated factor 2 (TRAF2), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, coordinates cytoprotective signaling downstream of both TNF receptors, via unclear mechanisms.

The Role of Costimulatory Receptors of the Tumour Necrosis Factor Receptor Family in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is mediated by both the innate and adaptive immune responses. T lymphocytes, that together with B cells are the cellular effectors of the adaptive immune system, are currently endowed with crucial ...

Type 2 diabetes is a serious threat to human health all over the world. It is particularly important to look for the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Researchers have found that obesity was associated with a broad chronic inflammatory response and type 2 diabetes.

A Role for Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-2 and Receptor-interacting Protein in Programmed Necrosis and Antiviral Responses [PDF]
Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor (TNFR) superfamily are potent regulators of apoptosis, a process that is important for the maintenance of immune homeostasis. Recent evidence suggests that TNFR-1 and Fas and TRAIL receptors can also trigger an alternative form of cell death that is morphologically distinct from apoptosis.

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 ...

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.
