Abstract
TNF is a major proinflammatory cytokine, which exerts its effects through two different receptors known as TNF-R1 and TNF-R2. Whereas TNF-R1 induced signaling pathways have been very well characterized during the past years, TNF-R2 has been much less well studied. Nevertheless, the function of TNF-R2 should not be underestimated, the more because this receptor shows a much more restricted but inducible expression. Several inflammatory diseases and cancers show upregulated levels of soluble TNF-R2 or are associated with TNF-R2 polymorphisms, implicating an important role for TNF-R2 as a therapeutic target. Here we will review the mechanisms that regulate TNF-R2 expression, as well as discuss TNF-R2 induced signal transduction and cross-talk with TNF-R1.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
