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

Dr. Palomares discusses how type 2 inflammation, an aberrant immune response, underlies skin diseases like atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, linking to their clinical symptoms.

Drs Stephanie Christenson and Jean Bourbeau explore the role of type 2 inflammation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 immunity evolved to protect against parasites, venoms, and toxins, and how its dysregulation can result in aberrant type 2 inflammation underlying multiple chronic inflammatory diseases.
Professor Matthias Augustin emphaizes that prurigo nodularis is a chronic systemic disease with a significant and multifaceted burden, encompassing both visible skin manifestations and hidden psychosocial and physical comorbidities.

Dr Mario Castro explains how type 2 cytokines play a crucial role in airway remodeling and inflammation in asthma and COPD, impacting patient outcomes.
Learn how to identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with type 2 inflammation using blood eosinophil (EOS) levels, understand the associated risks, and recognize factors that may influence EOS counts.

Join Dr. Kwatra outlining the micro itch cycle involving type 2 cell polarization and cytokines that directly affect fibroblasts to cause more immune dysregulation in PN.

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.
Professor Sarina Elmariah describes how IL-4 and IL-13, key drivers of type 2 inflammation, uniquely contribute to manifestations of prurigo nodularis beyond itch.

Two educational symposia at San Diego, 2024, explore the role of type 2 inflammation and the related manifestations in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Dr Sarina Elmariah highlights the clinical challenges in diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases, using prurigo nodularis as a case study. Drs Culton, Eichenfield, and Hawkes then join in to discuss additional challenges and complexities when diagnosing other skin diseases.
