The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.

This video features Dr. Eric Simpson's presentation on the importance of achieving disease control in adults with moderate-to-severe AD. Dr. Simpson discusses how adult patients and HCPs talk about disease control and the tools available to help define it. He also explores the roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in the pathophysiology of AD, including how both cytokines promote inflammation and, in turn, contribute to the cumulative burden of the disease. The video concludes with a brief panel discussion.

In this educational presentation, Profs. Vibeke Backer and Sietze Reitsma cover key aspects of type 2 inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP and practical strategies for optimizing disease control and improving patient outcomes.

Professor Lisa Beck explores the chronic and persistent burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) as well as the concept of early intervention in patients with AD.

Prof. Salvatore Oliva and Dr. Milli Gupta discuss the importance of long-term care, multidimensional assessment, and the latest data for biologics.

Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.

In this expert interview video focusing on topics from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how type 2 inflammation contributes to the systemic inflammation seen in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.

In this video of the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert reviews the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and differential diagnoses of AD in children, as well as the inflammatory processes driven by type 2 cytokines that lead to AD and its atopic comorbidities

This video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, features Dr. Stephan Weidinger discussing how local type 2 inflammation at the skin tissue level contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and neuroimmune dysfunction, leading to the clinical signs and symptoms of AD. Dr. Weidinger also reviews how systemic inflammation affects organ systems beyond the skin and can manifest as atopic and non-atopic comorbidities.

In this highlight video from the ADVENT AD symposium held at EADV’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how IL-4 contributes to systemic type 2 inflammation in AD via several mechanisms, including T cell differentiation, B cell activation and IgE generation, and T regulatory cell inhibition.

In this highlight video from the September 2024 ADVENT symposium at EADV’s Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how type 2 inflammation contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction, perivascular infiltration and plasma protein leakage, and chronic itch in AD.
