Cell-Specific Modulation of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor by Kynurenine in Pulmonary Fibrosis Requires Microenvironmental Crosstalk

Hannah M. Carter, Benjamin C. Anderson, Rita Medina Costa, Joshua Franzen, Joshua Kurkonis, Kayla C. Jenkins, Rachel L. Zemans, Bethany B. Moore, Stephen J. Gurczynski

This study shows that kynurenine modulates AHR signaling in specific pulmonary cell types, with pathogenic effects requiring cell-cell interactions, not isolated cell responses.
