Join Drs. April Armstrong and Lisa Beck for a conversation around the long-term burden and effects of AD. They will discuss the underlying pathophysiology of AD and how early intervention and disease modification may impact disease course.

In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.
This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.
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.

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.

Learn how loss of smell in CRSwNP is a key symptom for both patients and providers.
Type 2 inflammation contributes to many dermatologic diseases, which may lead to potentially life-changing burdens and challenges to patients and caregivers. By uncovering the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP, we can move forward in our understanding of each disease. Join global experts for an educational symposium on March 8th that will uncover the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP and explore questions driving current research in each disease.
Learn about the significant burden that patients with COPD experience and the role of inflammatory mechanisms in this chronic, often progressive disease.
Join the effort to improve CRSwNP care. World Anosmia Day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the loss of the sense of smell. Access some of countless educational resources with ADVENT below.
In this podcast, Dr. Teri Greiling and Dr. Daniel Butler discuss the enormous burden patients with bullous pemphigoid experience and how our understanding of the disease pathophysiology may help address unmet treatment needs.
Watch Dr. Donna Culton, Prof. Dédée Murrell, and Prof. Ulrike Raap at EADV 2025 as they explore the clinical presentation and diagnosis of BP and break down the underlying pathophysiology including the roles of autoimmunity and key inflammatory pathways such as Type 2 inflammation. The experts also discuss the evolving therapeutic landscape and how new insights are shaping future treatment strategies.

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.
