What role does IL-4 and IL-13 have in driving Type 2 inflammatory skin disease (AD, PN, CSU)?
Dermatology
Dr. Oscar Palomares explains that IL-4 and IL-13 are crucial cytokines in type 2 inflammation, playing both unique and overlapping roles, including T cell expansion and contributing to clinical symptoms in chronic diseases.
IL-4 Contributes to Systemic Type 2 Inflammation in AD
Dermatology
In this highlight video from the ADVENT AD symposium held at EADV’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how IL-4 contributes to systemic type 2 inflammation in AD via several mechanisms, including T cell differentiation, B cell activation and IgE generation, and T regulatory cell inhibition.
Normalizing Skin Barrier by Inhibiting IL-4 & IL-13, or IL-13 Alone
Dermatology
Dr. Ramien explores how advanced systemic therapies may modify atopic dermatitis pathomechanisms including skin barrier dysfunction, and neuroimmune dysregulation
Dr. Lisa Beck discusses how S. aureus colonization contributes to a disrupted skin microbiome, skin barrier dysfunction, disease flares and increased disease severity in AD, and how blocking IL-4 and IL-13 can reduce S. aureus colonization.
What Drives PN Disease? Exploring the Complexity of PN Pathophysiology
Dermatology
Dr. Brian Kim discusses the numerous contributors to PN pathophysiology, including type 2 inflammation, neuronal dysfunction, and dermal fibrosis, emphasizing the unique and overlapping roles of IL 31, IL-4 and IL-13 in its pathology.
New Perspectives in Understanding Pathophysiology of Atopic Dermatitis in Children
Dermatology
Dr. Stephan Weidinger describes the roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in skin barrier dysfunction, and the potential of early control of type 2 inflammation to modify disease course. This video was recorded at the EADV 2023 annual meeting during the ‘New Horizons in Children With Atopic Dermatitis: Emerging Evidence in Disease Management’ presentation.
