The Molecular Fingerprints of Type 2 Inflammation

Join Dr. Kim as he dives deep into the intricate world of cytokines, molecules, and signaling pathways central to type 2 inflammation. Understanding these molecular players is essential for grasping the complexity of the inflammatory processes driving AD, PN, and CSU.

Learning objectives

  • Review the diverse landscape of the signaling molecules that define the functions of immune cells in type 2 inflammation​ 
  • Describe how these effector molecules activate a cascade of innate and adaptive immune responses with overlapping and distinct functions, helping to explain the pathogenesis of different diseases despite a shared type 2 inflammatory pathology
