EAACI 2025 | At The Intersection of the Type 2 Airways: Navigating the Challenges of CRSwNP & Co-existing Asthma
Professors Brian Lipworth, Zuzana Diamant, and Philippe Gevaert delve into the complexities of managing patients with both severe and/or uncontrolled CRSwNP and co-existing asthma through an evaluation of the diagnostic challenges, personalized treatment strategies, and the latest advancements in understanding the interconnected pathophysiology of these type 2 airway diseases.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Eric Simpson outlines why early, targeted control of type 2 inflammation may modify the course of atopic dermatitis by addressing upstream drivers of barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and itch.
Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson goes on to explore how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the potential importance of early and effective therapeutic intervention to alter disease progression
Mucus Plugging as a Potential Target in Asthma Management
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.
Pathways Driving Chronic Airway Remodeling in Asthma
See how type 2 inflammation underlies remodeling processes in asthma.
Itch in Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases: Histaminergic and Nonhistaminergic Mechanisms and Role of IL-4 as a Central Orchestrator in Promoting Neuronal Sensitization
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explores the histaminergic and nonhistaminergic mechanisms of itch, highlighting how type 2 cytokines like IL-4 serve as central orchestrators of neuronal sensitization and immune–nervous system cross-talk.
What Drives Chronic Itch and the Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis?
Watch this short video to learn how type 2 inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and neurosensitization contribute to chronic itch and the itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis
The Role of IL-4 and IL-13 in CSU Pathogenesis
Dive into the complex pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), where mast cell degranulation drives the hallmark signs and symptoms. This interactive infographic elucidates how key type 2 cytokines, specifically IL-4 and IL-13, contribute to mast cell activation, immune cell trafficking into the skin, and neuronal sensitization in CSU, which ultimately leads to the release of mediators like histamine that cause wheals, angioedema, and itch.
Mucus Plugging Is a Key Component of Remodeling in Asthma, Leading to Fixed Airway Obstruction
Learn about the role of type 2 inflammation in the burden and pathophysiology of mucus plugging in severe asthma
ADVENT at San Diego, 2024
Two educational symposia at San Diego, 2024, explore the role of type 2 inflammation and the related manifestations in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
CRSwNP at Center Stage: Impact of Biologics in Patients with Co-existing Type 2 Asthma
In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Philippe Gevaert explains how biologic options for uncontrolled CRSwNP are increasing, and phase 3 studies of approved biologics show improved outcomes and decreased SCS use/surgery in patients with CRSwNP. Additionally, he explains how biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathophysiology potentially improve outcomes for eligible patients with co-existing CRSwNP and asthma.
