In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction contribute to the development of atopic comorbidities and increased susceptibility to infections.

This infographic highlights how PN is driven by type 2 inflammation, linking immune dysregulation, fibroblast activation, and neuronal dysfunction to nodule formation. It also shows how cytokine-mediated changes in neuronal architecture increase excitability and chronic itch, where resulting lesions and scarring significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being.

Join Professor Hide as he describes the potential role of Type 2 inflammation in the pathogenesis of CSU.
This 2-hour educational program delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, bullous pemphigoid, and chronic spontaneous urticaria. It will highlight both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies. Experts will guide the audience through diverse patient cases to illuminate diagnostic nuances and the pathophysiology of each condition. These cases will also highlight the importance of shared decision-making and the broadening of treatment goals beyond symptom control. Dynamic panel discussion and active audience participation will be facilitated through real-time polling and curated Q&A sessions.

Join Dr. Brian Kim in discussing the diagnosis of CPUO and the role of type 2 inflammation in disease pathophysiology.
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the role of type 2 inflammation in chronic itch across distinct pruritic skin diseases and the cumulative burden of chronic itch and skin lesions in PN.
This symposium delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. It highlights both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies through a series of engaging panel discussions with Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, Culton, and Hawkes.
Prof. Vibeke Backer provides an insightful presentation on the association of type 2 inflammation and the pathogenesis and management of severe and uncontrolled CRSwNP.

In April 2025, Lisbon, Portugal hosted the Global ADVENT Forum, a premier event uniting global experts in pulmonology, gastroenterology, and rhinology. Experts came together to share cutting-edge knowledge and innovative approaches to managing chronic inflammatory diseases affecting the airways, digestive system, and nasal passageways.

Learn about the significant burden that patients with EoE experience, and the role of type 2 inflammation in this chronic, progressive disease.
