Join Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz as they explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.

Embark on this interactive triathlon challenge to uncover the interplay of type 2 inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and neuroimmune dysregulation in the disease pathology of CRSwNP.

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.
Professor Sarina Elmariah describes how IL-4 and IL-13, key drivers of type 2 inflammation, uniquely contribute to manifestations of prurigo nodularis beyond itch.
In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.

Dr. Sonja Ständer and Dr. Shawn Kwatra discuss the unique features of prurigo nodularis (PN) as well as the characteristics that are shared with atopic dermatitis, and aim to raise awareness of PN among both physicians and patients.
Listen to the latest updates in type 2 inflammatory science and associated skin diseases, brought to you by leading dermatology experts in the field. ADVENT On Air podcasts feature scientific conversations that explore new research into the pathophysiology, clinical features, and disease burden for a range of dermatological diseases linked to type 2 inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN).
