New expert presentations from the 2023 ADVENT FORUM, Dermatology section, where the global faculty discuss itch as the common thread in dermatological type 2 inflammation, the evolving concept of disease modification in atopic dermatitis, and the latest updates in prurigo nodularis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Dr. Hawkes highlights how Chronic Urticaria is a mast cell centric disease with moderate levels of spontaneous remission in patients.

Join Drs. Michihiro Hide, Marta Ferrrer, and Ana M. Giménez-Arnau as they discuss chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and highlight the unmet needs, treatment challenges, and emerging therapies.

Watch as Drs. Michihiro Hide, Marta Ferrrer, and Ana M. Giménez-Arnau discuss chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and highlight the unmet needs, importance of disease control, and emerging therapies.

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.
Join allergist Dr. Nicole Chase and dermatologist Dr. Jason Hawkes as they dispel common myths in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). They offer practical, empathetic strategies to move beyond unnecessary diagnostics and delays, focusing instead on urgent treatment escalation and effective management to reduce the profound burden of uncontrolled CSU on patients.
This is the full presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida, presenting the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
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.

This full video presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida features Dr. Eric Simpson, Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Dr. Jason Hawkes and Dr. Victoria Werth. The faculty present the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).

Exploration of the shared mechanisms of itch across AD, PN, and CSU as well as the distinct ways itch manifests in each disease.

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