The cytokine TNF is thought to play a major role in the immunopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis, and anti-TNF antibodies are considered as cornerstones of clinical therapy. Two clinical trials published in The New England Journal of Medicine now challenge this paradigm and suggest new avenues for research.
