Small tumor necrosis factor receptor biologics inhibit the tumor necrosis factor-p38 signalling axis and inflammation

Anti-TNF therapy has improved the treatment of inflammatory disease but can predispose to infection and malignancy. Here the authors show an anti-TNF biologic peptide that functionally and selectively targets the TNF-p38 pathway in multiple models of inflammation.
