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.
IL-4 Is the Primary Cytokine That Drives Th2 Cell Polarization and Amplifies Type 2 Inflammation
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares describes how IL-4 is the key cytokine involved in the initiation and perpetuation of Th2 cell responses and type 2 inflammation.
Complex EoE Pathophysiology Beyond Esophageal Eosinophilia
Dr. Jonathan Spergel and Prof. Arjan Bredenoord highlight the importance of different immune cells in type 2 inflammation in EoE.
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.
On the Surface: Restoring the Skin Barrier in Patients With AD
In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Amy Paller discusses the pathophysiology of skin barrier dysfunction in AD and how regulating IL-4 and IL-13 signaling may lead to restoration of the skin barrier. Dr Paller goes on to explore how reducing certain biomarkers, such as CCL17 (TARC), may reduce inflammation that contributes to AD severity in pediatric patients.
Expert Interview with Dr Jason Hawkes
Join Dr. Hawkes as he discusses what burdens and challenges CSU patients might expect and help identify that there are immune functions responsible for their symptoms not an external cause.
