Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) commonly affects patients with skin psoriasis, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Here the authors use two types of single-cells data, mass cytometry and RNA sequencing, to describe the expansion and diversity of synovial, but not peripheral blood, CD8 T cells from PsA patients to provide a molecular immune landscape for PsA.
