Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD

In this soundbite video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson highlights the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson explores how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the importance of early, effective treatment to alter disease progression.
