    Sarcoidosis is a multi-system granulomatous disease characterized by immune dysregulation, primarily affecting the lungs.

  • 2

    Single cell RNA-seq analysis revealed significant gene expression changes in macrophages and T cells associated with sarcoidosis.

  • 3

    A reduction in B cells and distinct transcriptional alterations in CD4+ T cells were observed in sarcoidosis patients.

  • 4

    Cell-to-cell interactions were reduced overall in sarcoidosis, with a relative increase in CD4+ T cell interactions.

  • 5

    The study highlights the complexity of immune cell involvement in sarcoidosis and identifies potential targets for further research.
