Abstract

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) regulate the epithelial barrier function and immunity in the gut. How ILC numbers are maintained is unknown. In this issue of Immunity, Qiu et al. (2012) report that the transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor controls survival and function of gut-residing ILCs.
