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.
Join Professors Matthias Augustin and Sarina Elmariah for an engaging ADVENT symposium as they explore the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in prurigo nodularis and chronic itch.

In this video from EADV 2025, Dr. Hawkes reviews the pathophysioogy of CSU with a focus on the role of type 2 inflammation
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.

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.
Learn about the role of type 2 inflammation in the burden and pathophysiology of mucus plugging in severe asthma
This symposium highlights type 2 inflammation as a key driver of chronic itch and the characteristic skin lesions of prurigo nodularis and evaluates the real-world implications of targeted therapies on clinical practice.

Drs Nicola Hanania and Francesca Polverino explore the Many Faces of COPD: From Phenotypes to Endotypes.

Two educational symposia at San Diego, 2024, explore the role of type 2 inflammation and the related manifestations in atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Philippe Gevaert explains how biologic options for uncontrolled CRSwNP are increasing, and phase 3 studies of approved biologics show improved outcomes and decreased SCS use/surgery in patients with CRSwNP. Additionally, he explains how biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathophysiology potentially improve outcomes for eligible patients with co-existing CRSwNP and asthma.
