In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson goes on to explore how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the potential importance of early and effective therapeutic intervention to alter disease progression

Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.
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.

Professor Alberto Papi presents the latest clinical data on current and emerging biologics for COPD with type 2 inflammation.

Learn about key drivers of type 2 inflammation in EoE and how they mediate progressive esophageal remodeling and impact patient burden
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). Hear new insights revealed through expert-led conversations below or in your preferred podcast app.


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.
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.

New expert presentations from the 2023 ADVENT FORUM, Dermatology section, where the global faculty discuss itch as the common thread in dermatological type 2 inflammation, the evolving concept of disease modification in atopic dermatitis, and the latest updates in prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Join experts Vibeke Backer, MD, DMSC, and Sietze Reitsma, MD, at an educational symposium involving a comprehensive exploration of the type 2 inflammation and its pivotal role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP.

In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Philippe Gevaert explains how biologic options for uncontrolled CRSwNP are increasing, and phase 3 studies of approved biologics show improved outcomes and decreased SCS use/surgery in patients with CRSwNP. Additionally, he explains how biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathophysiology potentially improve outcomes for eligible patients with co-existing CRSwNP and asthma.
