Unpack the keys to successful disease control in CRSwNP alongside expert Prof. Vibeke Backer. Learn how to navigate treatment pathways for improved patient quality of life.

From the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, this event page serves to spotlight curated soundbites from dermatology and immunology experts that connect the evolving science of type 2 inflammation to clinical application.

The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.

Watch on-demand expert soundbites recorded at the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, featuring dermatology and immunology perspectives on mechanisms and clinical practice. Topics range from disease mechanism to patient care and quality of life, spanning atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).

Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga discusses data identifying atopic dermatitis as the first diagnosed atopic disease and the start of the atopic march.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Amy Paller discusses how moderate-to-severe AD may hinder growth in pediatric patients and highlights data showing treatment with dupilumab may increase vertical growth in children of lower stature.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Amy Paller reviews a Japanese study showing that early proactive treatment of infant atopic dermatitis with topical corticosteroids reduced the incidence of food allergy but was also associated with decreased gains in height and weight.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim describes the dynamic neuroimmune interactions in chronic pruritic skin diseases, emphasizing how type 2 cytokines and sensory nerves actively influence both itch perception and tissue 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.

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.

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.
