Professor Paola Rogliani examines the role of IL-33 in the pathophysiology of COPD, focusing on its contribution to airway inflammation, remodeling, and disease progression.

New expert presentations from the 2023 ADVENT FORUM, Dermatology section, where the global faculty discuss itch as the common thread in dermatological type 2 inflammation, the evolving concept of disease modification in atopic dermatitis, and the latest updates in prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Two educational symposia at San Diego, 2024, explore the role of type 2 inflammation and the related manifestations in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Dr Sarina Elmariah highlights the clinical challenges in diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases, using prurigo nodularis as a case study. Drs Culton, Eichenfield, and Hawkes then join in to discuss additional challenges and complexities when diagnosing other skin diseases.

The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.
Dive into the complex pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), where mast cell degranulation drives the hallmark signs and symptoms. This interactive infographic elucidates how key type 2 cytokines, specifically IL-4 and IL-13, contribute to mast cell activation, immune cell trafficking into the skin, and neuronal sensitization in CSU, which ultimately leads to the release of mediators like histamine that cause wheals, angioedema, and itch.
Explore the characteristics of COPD and asthma, focusing on their shared inflammatory mechanisms and key clinical differences.

In this highlight video from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert discusses how type 2 inflammation contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction and chronic itch in AD

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.

Professor Klaus Rabe delves into the intricate inflammatory pathways and cellular mechanisms that drive the development and progression of COPD.

Dr. Stephanie Christenson examines the genetic and environmental factors influencing IL-33 expression and activity in COPD, highlighting the complex interplay between genetics, smoking, and disease pathogenesis.

Professors Klaus Rabe, Paola Rogliani, and Dr. Stephanie Christenson explore the complexity of inflammatory pathways and phenotypes in COPD. They provide insights into the genetic association of IL-33 with COPD, discuss preclinical findings, and review ongoing clinical research targeting IL-33 in COPD.
