Eosinophils: A Biomarker in COPD
Learn how to identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with type 2 inflammation using blood eosinophil (EOS) levels, understand the associated risks, and recognize factors that may influence EOS counts.
ERS 2024 | The Role of IL-33 in COPD Patho and Its Impact on Disease Remodeling
Professor Paola Rogliani examines the role of IL-33 in the pathophysiology of COPD, focusing on its contribution to airway inflammation, remodeling, and disease progression.
2025 ADVENT Forum | Remodeling in the Airway: A Damaged State of Affairs
Explore the intricate world of airway remodeling with this comprehensive recording of the live session held at the 2025 ADVENT Forum: "Remodeling in the Airway: A Damaged State of Affairs." Moderated by Dr. Stella Lee, this session brings together a powerhouse multidisciplinary panel to dissect the multifaceted nature of airway damage.
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.
Beyond Itch: The Multifaceted Role of IL-4/IL-13 in the Pathogenesis of PN
Professor Sarina Elmariah describes how IL-4 and IL-13, key drivers of type 2 inflammation, uniquely contribute to manifestations of prurigo nodularis beyond itch.
ADVENT at San Diego, 2024
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.
Decoding the Clinical Puzzle: Navigating Diagnostic Complexity Across Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Dr Sarina Elmariah highlights the clinical challenges in diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases, using prurigo nodularis as a case study. Drs Culton, Eichenfield, and Hawkes then join in to discuss additional challenges and complexities when diagnosing other skin diseases.
Bullous Pemphigoid Is an Autoimmune Disease Involving Dysregulated Type 2 Immune Response
Listen as Dr. Donna Culton discusses the importance of crosstalk between autoantibodies and type 2 inflammation in the development of bullous pemphigoid.
What Went Wrong? How Dysregulated Type 2 Immunity Contributes to AD, PN, CSU, and BP
The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.
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.
COPD and Asthma: What's the Difference and Is There a Link?
Explore the characteristics of COPD and asthma, focusing on their shared inflammatory mechanisms and key clinical differences.
Role of Type 2 Inflammation in Skin Barrier Disruption and Itch
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
