Fig. 4From: Modulating AHR function offers exciting therapeutic potential in gut immunity and inflammationSchematic represents the effects of AHR on gut immunity and inflammation in intestinal mucosal immune system. Activation of AHR plays an important role in regulating intestinal immunity (on left). the deficiency of AHR results in intestinal inflammation (on right).
