Transcriptional profle of bronchoalveolar cells in sarcoidosis

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in alveolar macrophagesa key immuno-inflammatory cell in the lungcan shed light on the pathogenesis of this complex disease.
