What Does TNF Stand For?
TNF stands for Tumor Necrosis Factor
TNF, or Tumor Necrosis Factor, is a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and is part of the immune response. It plays a critical role in the regulation of immune cells, the induction of fever, the apoptosis of cells, and the inhibition of tumorigenesis. Elevated levels of TNF are associated with various inflammatory diseases and conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders, making it a significant target for therapeutic interventions.
