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
Underlying Type 2 Inflammation Drives a Chronic Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis
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.
Distinct Mechanisms Drive Inflammation and Itch in Chronic, Type 2 Inflammatory Diseases
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim provides an overview of itch in type 2 inflammatory skin diseases and explains how the shared and unique mechanisms that drive inflammation and itch mediate each disease in distinct ways.
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.
Type 2 Inflammation Within Skin Tissue 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.
