Highlights from the ADVENT educational symposium at EADV 2024 where Professors Eric Simpson, Stephan Weidinger, and Marjolein de Bruin-Weller explored the local and systemic effects of type 2 inflammation in AD and potential benefits of early intervention with regard to disease modification.

This cross-TA plenary session addressed challenges in type 2 inflammation-driven diseases. Esteemed faculty, including Profs Klaus Rabe, Sharon Dell, Anju Peters, Milli Gupta, Eric Simpson, Stella Lee, and moderator Oscar Palomares, discussed strategies to enhance quality of life, reduce disease burden, and prioritize patient-centered care.
Join leading pulmonologists Drs. Njira Lugogo, Simon Couillard, and Mario Castro, as they explore the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathogenesis of mucus plugging in the airways, the burden of excess mucus in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, and how reducing airway mucus may lead to improved long-term patient outcomes.

Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the differing goals of patients and physicians in treating atopic dermatitis and emphasizes the importance of patient input.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Amy Paller highlights CCL17 (TARC) as an important biomarker in AD.
This infographic outlines how endotyping, phenotyping, and genotyping are interrelated concepts that are crucial for improving the way patients with COPD are characterized and how understanding these concepts can better optimize patient care

Dr. Stephanie Christenson discusses the association between COPD exacerbations and the increased risks of morbidity and mortality

Dr. Mario Castro discusses how COPD exacerbations can predict future exacerbations and lead to progressive lung function loss in COPD patients.

Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she discusses on how IL-13 contributes to mucus plugging in asthma.

In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.

In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Amy Paller discusses the pathophysiology of skin barrier dysfunction in AD and how regulating IL-4 and IL-13 signaling may lead to restoration of the skin barrier. Dr Paller goes on to explore how reducing certain biomarkers, such as CCL17 (TARC), may reduce inflammation that contributes to AD severity in pediatric patients.

Dr Mario Castro explains how type 2 cytokines play a crucial role in airway remodeling and inflammation in asthma and COPD, impacting patient outcomes.
