Watch on-demand expert soundbites recorded at the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, featuring dermatology and immunology perspectives on mechanisms and clinical practice. Topics range from disease mechanism to patient care and quality of life, spanning atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
Join ADVENT for an educational symposium on PN at WCI 2025!

Dr. Chovatiya discusses the impact of pruritus on patients with PN.

Dr. Weidinger discusses the intricate neuroinflammatory mechanisms of chronic pruritic skin disease such as AD and PN.
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the role of type 2 inflammation in chronic itch across distinct pruritic skin diseases and the cumulative burden of chronic itch and skin lesions in PN.

Join Dr. Kwatra outlining the micro itch cycle involving type 2 cell polarization and cytokines that directly affect fibroblasts to cause more immune dysregulation in PN.

Dr Kwatra poses the question: How do we assess disease modification in PN, and can treating early stop tissue damage and worsening of systemic diseases associated with PN?

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.

Dr. Chovatiya discusses PN, emphasizing that while itch is a major symptom, the disease's burden is multi-dimensional, affecting appearance, sleep, social life, and mental health, requiring comprehensive therapeutic solutions.

Welcome to the CSU learning hub focused on key scientific education on chronic spontaneous urticaria, featuring ADVENT resources.

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

Dr. Oscar Palomares explains that IL-4 and IL-13 are crucial cytokines in type 2 inflammation, playing both unique and overlapping roles, including T cell expansion and contributing to clinical symptoms in chronic diseases.
