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.

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

Dr. Chovatiya explains that PN is primarily a chronic itch disease with a complex pathophysiology involving neuronal changes, type 2 inflammation, and fibrotic skin processes, affecting patients' overall well-being.
Listen to the latest updates in type 2 inflammatory science and associated skin diseases, brought to you by leading dermatology experts in the field. ADVENT On Air podcasts feature scientific conversations that explore new research into the pathophysiology, clinical features, and disease burden for a range of dermatological diseases linked to type 2 inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN). Hear new insights revealed through expert-led conversations below or in your preferred podcast app.

A static infographic detailing how autoimmunity and Type 2 inflammation play a critical role in the pathophysiology of Bullous Pemphigoid (BP).

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.
Learn about the role of type 2 inflammation in the burden and pathophysiology of mucus plugging in severe asthma
This symposium highlights type 2 inflammation as a key driver of chronic itch and the characteristic skin lesions of prurigo nodularis and evaluates the real-world implications of targeted therapies on clinical practice.

Join experts Vibeke Backer, MD, DMSC, and Sietze Reitsma, MD, at an educational symposium involving a comprehensive exploration of the type 2 inflammation and its pivotal role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP.

Drs Nicola Hanania and Francesca Polverino explore the Many Faces of COPD: From Phenotypes to Endotypes.

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.

In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Philippe Gevaert explains how biologic options for uncontrolled CRSwNP are increasing, and phase 3 studies of approved biologics show improved outcomes and decreased SCS use/surgery in patients with CRSwNP. Additionally, he explains how biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathophysiology potentially improve outcomes for eligible patients with co-existing CRSwNP and asthma.
