Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) orchestrates immune responses but can also drive inflammation-associated tissue damage. However, the mechanisms governing tissue tolerance to TNF remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal that TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) abundance is regulated by two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5' untranslated region of
