Learn about the role of type 2 inflammation in the burden and pathophysiology of severe asthma in pediatric patients

Dr. Ramien discusses the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis, and highlights the association of atopic dermatitis with systemic diseases and comorbidities.

Explore the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria in this animated video. Learn about the complex mechanism of disease involving mast cell activation and the release of inflammatory mediators.

Join Dr. Shawn Kwatra in discussing the diverse clinical presentations of PN and the role of type 2 inflammation in disease pathogenesis.

Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she discusses on how IL-13 contributes to mucus plugging in asthma.

Join Drs. April Armstrong and Lisa Beck for a conversation around the long-term burden and effects of AD. They will discuss the underlying pathophysiology of AD and how early intervention and disease modification may impact disease course.

In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.

Join experts Dédée Murrell, Donna Aline Culton, Joost Meijer and Enno Schmidt for an educational presentation on the clinical presentation, disease burden, diagnosis, and underlying pathophysiology of bullous pemphigoid (BP). Dive deeper into unmet needs and treatment challenges faced by these patients and how targeted therapies may address them.

Professors Brian Lipworth, Zuzana Diamant, and Philippe Gevaert delve into the complexities of managing patients with both severe and/or uncontrolled CRSwNP and co-existing asthma through an evaluation of the diagnostic challenges, personalized treatment strategies, and the latest advancements in understanding the interconnected pathophysiology of these type 2 airway diseases.

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.

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.

The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.
