Interplay of Barrier Dysfunction and Type 2 Inflammation in EoE
Learn from Prof. Seema Aceves about the interconnectivity of type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction in mediating EoE pathophysiology.
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.
Connecting Type 2 Inflammation to CRSwNP
Prof. Claus Bachert describes how type 2 inflammation drives CRSwNP.
Underlying Type 2 Inflammation Drives a Chronic Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explains how underlying type 2 inflammation sustains the chronic itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis, highlighting the interplay of barrier dysfunction, cytokine signaling, and neuronal activation.
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.
How Biologic Therapy May Lead to Disease Modification in Infants and Children with Atopic Dermatitis
The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.
Type 2 Inflammatory Disease: What Are the Mechanisms that Contribute to the Development of Other Atopic Comorbidities?
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction contribute to the development of atopic comorbidities and increased susceptibility to infections.
