Dysregulated TNFR signalling is associated with many inflammatory disorders, including some forms of arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, and targeting TNF has been an effective therapeutic strategy in these diseases and for cancer immunotherapy [1-2,7].

Comment One of the two receptor types for the neurotrophins (factors that stimulate neuronal cell survival and differentiation), the others being the tropomyosin-related kinases (Trks). NGFR functions as a molecular switch that regulates neuronal survival and synaptic integrity, and which operates in a highly context-dependent manner. Mature neurotrophins bind preferentially to Trks and NGFR (p75NTR); proneurotrophins interact with NGFR and sortilin. Unliganded and proneurotrophin-liganded NGFR induce degeneration of synapses and neuronal death. In contrast, when bound to mature neurotrophins NGFR forms a co-receptor with Trks that promotes neuronal survival.
