In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim describes the dynamic neuroimmune interactions in chronic pruritic skin diseases, emphasizing how type 2 cytokines and sensory nerves actively influence both itch perception and tissue inflammation.

This infographic highlights how uncontrolled moderate‑to‑severe atopic dermatitis (AD) can lead to Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI) by contributing to ongoing physical, psychological, and social burdens such as itch and sleep loss, impaired bone growth and mental health challenges. It emphasizes the importance of early and effective disease control to help reduce long‑term impact on patients.

Inflammatory processes drive AD both within and beyond the skin, leading to significant, cumulative life impacts. Early intervention has the potential to mitigate these impacts by altering the disease course.
