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. Weidinger discusses the intricate neuroinflammatory mechanisms of chronic pruritic skin disease such as AD and PN.

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

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explains how underlying type 2 inflammation sustains the chronic itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis, highlighting the interplay of barrier dysfunction, cytokine signaling, and neuronal activation.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim provides an overview of itch in type 2 inflammatory skin diseases and explains how the shared and unique mechanisms that drive inflammation and itch mediate each disease in distinct ways.
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Eric Simpson outlines why early, targeted control of type 2 inflammation may modify the course of atopic dermatitis by addressing upstream drivers of barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and itch.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explores the histaminergic and nonhistaminergic mechanisms of itch, highlighting how type 2 cytokines like IL-4 serve as central orchestrators of neuronal sensitization and immune–nervous system cross-talk.

Highlights from the ADVENT symposium at the Inflammatory Skin Disease Summit (ISDS) 2023 exploring the role of type 2 inflammation in atopic dermatitis.

In this highlight video from the May 2024 ADVENT symposium at ESPD’s Annual Meeting in Košice, Slovakia, Dr. Lisa Weibel presents how type 2 inflammation contributes to dysbiosis, skin infections, and itch in patients with AD.

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

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.
