Prurigo Nodularis: Type 2 Inflammation Links Neuronal Dysfunction and Fibrosis
This infographic highlights how PN is driven by type 2 inflammation, linking immune dysregulation, fibroblast activation, and neuronal dysfunction to nodule formation. It also shows how cytokine-mediated changes in neuronal architecture increase excitability and chronic itch, where resulting lesions and scarring significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being.
What Went Wrong? How Dysregulated Type 2 Immunity Contributes to AD, PN, CSU, and BP
This full video presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida features Dr. Eric Simpson, Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Dr. Jason Hawkes and Dr. Victoria Werth. The faculty present the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
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.

This is the full presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida, presenting the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
How Does Protective Type 2 Immunity Become Harmful Type 2 Inflammation?
In this video soundbite from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson explains how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation.
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.
Type 2 Inflammation, Neurosensitization, and Chronic Itch in Atopic Dermatitis
Learn about type 2 inflammation as a driver of neurosensitization and chronic itch in atopic dermatitis with this educational tool.
ADVENT Forum 2025 Event Page
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.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Amy Paller
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Amy Paller discusses two topics: 1) The importance of CCL17 (TARC) as a biomarker in pediatric patients with AD, and 2) How IL-4 and IL-13 contribute to skin barrier dysfunction in AD.
Dr. Giorgio Canonica Regarding Multidisciplinary Approach
This video clip from the EAACI 2024 symposium highlights that a multidisciplinary approach is essential for the treatment of asthma.
Should we Still Operate on Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps?
This video clip from the EAACI 2024 symposium discusses whether patients with CRSwNP should undergo a surgery.
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.
