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.
