What Drives Chronic Itch and the Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis?
Watch this short video to learn how type 2 inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and neurosensitization contribute to chronic itch and the itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis
Itch: Neuroimmune Axis in Chronic Pruritic Skin Diseases
Dr. Weidinger discusses the intricate neuroinflammatory mechanisms of chronic pruritic skin disease such as AD and PN.
World Congress on Itch (WCI) 2023 | Miami
Exploration of the shared mechanisms of itch across AD, PN, and CSU as well as the distinct ways itch manifests in each disease.
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.
A Tale of Two Itches: Bridging the Gap With Type 2 Inflammation in PN and CSU
Join Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz as they explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.
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.
Neuroiflammation and Neurogenic Itch in Prurigo Nodularis
Dr. Chovatiya discusses the neuroinflammatory mechanisms of PN.
Distinct Mechanisms Drive Inflammation and Itch in Chronic, Type 2 Inflammatory Diseases
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim provides an overview of itch in type 2 inflammatory skin diseases and explains how the shared and unique mechanisms that drive inflammation and itch mediate each disease in distinct ways.
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.
Itch in Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases: Histaminergic and Nonhistaminergic Mechanisms and Role of IL-4 as a Central Orchestrator in Promoting Neuronal Sensitization
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.
ADVENT at ISDS 2023: Navigating Recent Scientific Advances in Atopic Dermatitis: Skin Barrier Dysfunction, Dysbiosis, and Itch
Highlights from the ADVENT symposium at the Inflammatory Skin Disease Summit (ISDS) 2023 exploring the role of type 2 inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
ADVENT On-Air Podcast: The Multifaceted Patient Burden and Drivers of Disease in Prurigo Nodularis
In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.
