In this soundbite video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson highlights the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson explores how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the importance of early, effective treatment to alter disease progression.

Join Dr. Jason Hawkes in discussing the burden of CSU and how type 2 inflammation contributes to the development of chronic wheals (hives) and angioedema

Experience this engaging presentation by Dr. Donna Culton, Prof. Dédée Murrell, and Prof. Ulrike Raap, who highlight the heterogeneous clinical presentations of BP and its burden, delve beneath the surface into how autoimmunity and predominantly type 2 inflammation mediate the disease, and explore the evolving toolbox of current approaches in BP management.

Dr. Sonja Ständer and Dr. Shawn Kwatra discuss the unique features of prurigo nodularis (PN) as well as the characteristics that are shared with atopic dermatitis, and aim to raise awareness of PN among both physicians and patients.

Experts from different specialties use a case-based discussion to understand type 2 inflammatory diseases from a nurse practitioner perspective.

ADVENT On Air podcasts feature scientific conversations that explore new research into the pathophysiology, clinical features, and disease burden for a range of dermatological diseases linked to type 2 inflammation, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN). Hear new insights revealed through expert-led conversations below or in your preferred podcast app.

Dr. Ramien discusses evidence showing that advanced therapies can modify the mechanisms of atopic dermatitis, improving skin barrier function, normalizing the skin microbiome, and reducing chronic itch.

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.
