1. this is a preprint, so take their results with a massive grain of salt. 2. the sample size for this is quite low. They cite number of cells in the thousands, but when you look at the number of people in the study the sample size is 3 live people undergoing surgery (line 193) and 8 autopsies (line 439). 3. technical replicates in RT-qPCR are not the same as biological replicates (i.e. more people) 4. Single cell RNAseq is trendy, but again, without more biological replicates it's very much in the realm of extrapolation when considering sample size of patients vs the whole human population.
