Can advanced systemic therapies modify pathomechanisms in AD?
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.
The Role of IL-4 and IL-13 in CSU Pathogenesis
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.
