ERS 2024 | Understanding the Complex Pathophysiology of COPD
Professor Klaus Rabe delves into the intricate inflammatory pathways and cellular mechanisms that drive the development and progression of COPD.
ERS 2024 | What Do We Know About IL-33 Genetics?
Dr. Stephanie Christenson examines the genetic and environmental factors influencing IL-33 expression and activity in COPD, highlighting the complex interplay between genetics, smoking, and disease pathogenesis.
Role of Type 2 Inflammation in Skin Barrier Disruption and Itch
In this highlight video from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert discusses how type 2 inflammation contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction and chronic itch in AD
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.
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.
Assessment of Smell Loss in CRSwNP Interactive Infographic
Use this educational tool to explore the daily burden of loss of smell for patients with CRSwNP.
A brief overview of the pathophysiology of PN
Dr. Chovatiya explains that PN is primarily a chronic itch disease with a complex pathophysiology involving neuronal changes, type 2 inflammation, and fibrotic skin processes, affecting patients' overall well-being.
Understanding the Full Scope of PN: Lesions, Dyspigmentation, and Patient Burden
Professor Matthias Augustin details the various clinical manifestations of prurigo nodularis, illustrating how different lesion types can present concurrently in patients.
Beyond the Skin: Understanding Systemic Comorbidities in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the high prevalence of both atopic and non-atopic comorbidities in patients with PN, including increased risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Understanding the Contribution of IL-4 in the Development of Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
What role does IL-4 and IL-13 have in driving Type 2 inflammatory skin disease (AD, PN, CSU)?
Dr. Oscar Palomares explains that IL-4 and IL-13 are crucial cytokines in type 2 inflammation, playing both unique and overlapping roles, including T cell expansion and contributing to clinical symptoms in chronic diseases.
