Abstract
While the role of the Tumor necrosis factor-α (referred to as TNF here) as a key mediator of pro-inflammatory and immune responses is well-established, non-pathological functions of the TNF-TNF receptor (TNFR) signaling are less explored. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Esteban-Collado et al, (2024) describe a TNF independent, pro-survival role of the Drosophila TNFR Wengen during damage-induced tissue regeneration.Keywords
