Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder affecting multiple organs. While pulmonary involvement is the predominant manifestation of sarcoidosis, other organ involvements may be disabling and difficult to diagnose or treat. In the last several decades, many studies have focused on the contribution of T cell responses (CD4) in sarcoidosis; further studies are required for the effective understanding of the contribution of other immune cells (macrophages, B cells serum factor) in the pathogenesis of this heterogeneous disease. Moreover, there is a great need for studies addressing specific issues or clinical aspects, especially the sarcoidosis heterogenicity in relation to ethnicity. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research on the epidemiology, presentation, disease mechanism, impact of ethnical diversity on phenotype, and potential therapeutic targets. We invite researchers to contribute with original research, review articles, mechanistic studies, and translational/clinical studies focusing not only on the clinical presentation but also on novel mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Our goal is to provide an open forum and energize the investigators and clinicians to move the research on this fascinating disease forwards.
