In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explains how underlying type 2 inflammation sustains the chronic itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis, highlighting the interplay of barrier dysfunction, cytokine signaling, and neuronal activation.

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 this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction contribute to the development of atopic comorbidities and increased susceptibility to infections.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares highlights the substantial impact of type 2 inflammatory diseases on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares describes how IL-4 is the key cytokine involved in the initiation and perpetuation of Th2 cell responses and type 2 inflammation.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares discusses how type 2 inflammation plays a critical role in a broad range of diseases across different organ systems.

In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson goes on to explore how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the potential importance of early and effective therapeutic intervention to alter disease progression

In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga highlights the multidimensional burden of uncontrolled AD and how the various burdens contribute to Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI).
This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.

Dr. Ramien discusses evidence showing that advanced therapies can modify the mechanisms of atopic dermatitis, improving skin barrier function, normalizing the skin microbiome, and reducing chronic itch.

Dr. Amy Paller emphasizes that early intervention in children can alter disease progression. Depending on the severity, this can be achieved with topical interventions or systemic therapies.
