Spotlight on Type 2 Inflammation in the Upper and Lower Airways
In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Zuzana Diamant explains pathophysiological mechanisms underlying asthma and CRSwNP, and how type 2 inflammatory cytokines drive airway remodelling in patients with severe asthma. Additionally, patients with co-existing asthma and CRSwNP have a higher type 2 inflammatory burden than patients with asthma alone.
Dupilumab Reduces Total IgE and Allergen-Specific IgE in a Real-World Study of Pediatric Patients With AD and Type 2 Comorbidities
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares discusses evidence demonstrating that dupilumab reduces both total and allergen-specific IgE in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis and comorbid allergic diseases, underscoring the role of IL-4/IL-13 blockade in modulating B-cell activity.
ERS 2024 | Perspectives From the Evolving Biologic Landscape in COPD
Professor Alberto Papi presents the latest clinical data on current and emerging biologics for COPD with type 2 inflammation.
ERS 2024 | IL-33 A Promising Target
Professor Klaus Rabe presents the latest clinical data on current and emerging biologic therapies targeting IL-33 in COPD.
Can Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps be Considered in Remission if the Patient has an Impaired Sense of Smell?
Dr. Backer discusses assessing remission in CRSwNP by evaluating the patient's sense of smell in this video clip from the EAACI 2024 symposium.
From Protective Type 2 Immunity to Aberrant Type 2 Inflammation
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 immunity evolved to protect against parasites, venoms, and toxins, and how its dysregulation can result in aberrant type 2 inflammation underlying multiple chronic inflammatory diseases.
A Tale of Two Itches: Bridging the Gap With Type 2 Inflammation in PN and CSU
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.
Differential Effects of Dupilumab and JAK Inhibitors on CCL17 (TARC) in Patients With AD
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares compares the effects of biologics and JAK inhibitors on the biomarker CCL17 (TARC) 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.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Paula Luna
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.
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.
