How Biologic Therapy May Lead to Disease Modification in Infants and Children with Atopic Dermatitis
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.
ERS-ISIAN 2025 | Type 2 Inflammation and Disease Control in CRSwNP: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
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.
ADVENT On Air | Exploring The Urgency to Treat in Atopic Dermatitis
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.
Airway Hyperresponsiveness In Asthma Is Mainly Driven By Components Of Type 2 Inflammation
Examine underlying type 2 inflammation as a driver of airway hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma.
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
Bullous Pemphigoid Mechanism of Disease Video
Explore the mechanism of disease of bullous pemphigoid (BP), including the roles of autoimmunity and type 2 inflammation, in this informative video.
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.
In Chronic Pruritic Skin Diseases, the Neuroimmune Axis Involves Dynamic Interactions Between Type 2 Inflammation and Sensory Nerves
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim describes the dynamic neuroimmune interactions in chronic pruritic skin diseases, emphasizing how type 2 cytokines and sensory nerves actively influence both itch perception and tissue inflammation.
Exploring the Potential Role of Biomarkers in Managing Bullous Pemphigoid
Dr. Donna Culton discusses biomarkers in bullous pemphigoid and considers their potential clinical use.
Beyond Itch: The Multifaceted Role of IL-4/IL-13 in the Pathogenesis of PN
Professor Sarina Elmariah describes how IL-4 and IL-13, key drivers of type 2 inflammation, uniquely contribute to manifestations of prurigo nodularis beyond itch.
Understanding the Contribution of IL-4 in the Development of Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Amy Paller
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Amy Paller discusses two topics: 1) The importance of CCL17 (TARC) as a biomarker in pediatric patients with AD, and 2) How IL-4 and IL-13 contribute to skin barrier dysfunction in AD.
