Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) of human tissues has expanded our understanding of the complexity of cellular subsets and their changes in disease. The availability of scRNAseq data in different tissues and disease states provides an opportunity to compare cellular subsets and identify common and unique cellular activation. In this study, we aimed to characterize shared and tissue-specific myeloid and stromal phenotypes and uncover key cellular subtypes involved in pathogenic tissue activation. We analyzed scRNAseq data from 14 public datasets, comprising heart, lung, skin, and synovium in both healthy and diseased states. Our analysis identified distinct and overlapping myeloid and stromal cell populations in these tissues. Despite significant inter-individual variability, we were able to identify both shared and disease-specific changes in these cell populations. These findings provide insights into the conserved and tissue-specific roles of myeloid and stromal cells in health and disease and contribute to a better understanding of tissue pathology and potential therapeutic targets.
