Role of Type 2 Cytokines in Asthma and COPD
Dr Mario Castro explains how type 2 cytokines play a crucial role in airway remodeling and inflammation in asthma and COPD, impacting patient outcomes.
Connecting the Dots: Novel Insights on Type 2 Cytokines Mediating Neuroimmune Dysregulation in PN and CSU
Dr. Kim discusses the roles of type 2 cytokines at the neuroimmune axis in PN and CSU and conveys how neuroimmune interactions give rise to chronic itch and skin lesions in each disease
Mucus Plugging as a Potential Target in Asthma Management
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.
Airway Remodeling in Type 2 Asthma is Driven by IL-4 and IL-13
Dr. Reynold Panettieri discusses how IL-4 and IL-13 drive airway remodeling in type 2 asthma.
Type 2 Inflammation: Links With Severe Uncontrolled CRSwNP
In this video soundbite from the ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, Dr. Vibeke Backer discusses how Type 2 inflammation drives severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP. It covers key immune cells and biomarkers (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TSLP), global prevalence differences, and the importance of symptom tracking and targeted therapies.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
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.
ERS 2024 | A Breath of Fresh Air: A Greater Understanding of COPD With Type 2 Inflammation
Join experts Henrik Watz, Mona Bafadhel, and Alberto Papi for an educational symposium on the link between underlying drivers of COPD with type 2 inflammation and cumulative patient burden, exploring the role of type 2 cytokines, and current and emerging therapies.
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.
Type 2 Inflammation Contributes to Itch and Fibrois in PN
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.
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.
In Chronic Pruritic Skin Diseases, the Neuroimmune Axis Involves Dynamic Interactions Between Type 2 Inflammation and Sensory Nerves
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.
