A new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institutet suggests that aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) in intestinal epithelial cells sense nanomaterial graphene oxide and activate specific immune cells called innate lymphoid cells.   From electronic products to biomolecular sensors, nanomaterial graphene oxide can indirectly affect the immune system through the gut microbiota, as confirmed in a new study of zebrafish by researchers at the Karolinska Institutet. The findings were published...
