Dupilumab Reduces Total IgE and Allergen-Specific IgE in a Real-World Study of Pediatric Patients With AD and Type 2 Comorbidities
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares discusses evidence demonstrating that dupilumab reduces both total and allergen-specific IgE in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis and comorbid allergic diseases, underscoring the role of IL-4/IL-13 blockade in modulating B-cell activity.
Itch in Prurigo Nodularis
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim discuss the burdensome itch in prurigo nodularis, the multifactorial etiology of the disease, and the multiple pathological factors that contribute to chronic itch and skin inflammation in PN.
CLCI in Atopic Dermatitis Infographic
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.
How Does Protective Type 2 Immunity Become Harmful Type 2 Inflammation?
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.
From Protective Type 2 Immunity to Aberrant Type 2 Inflammation
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 immunity evolved to protect against parasites, venoms, and toxins, and how its dysregulation can result in aberrant type 2 inflammation underlying multiple chronic inflammatory diseases.
Lung Function Decline: Why it Matters and What’s at Stake for Patients
Understand the drivers of lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic inflammation, key risk factors, and the impact on patient well-being .
ERS 2024 | Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Airway Remodeling in Severe Asthma
Professor Celeste Porsbjerg presents the pathophysiology and disease processes involved in airway remodeling in severe asthma.
A Tale of Two Itches: Bridging the Gap With Type 2 Inflammation in PN and CSU
Join Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz as they explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.
Neuroimmune Dysfunction Is Critical in the Pathophysiology of Prurigo Nodularis
Dr. Sarina Elmariah explains the importance of neuroimmune crosstalk in the development of prurigo nodularis.
Pathophysiology of Blister Formation in Bullous Pemphigoid
Professor Enno Schmidt discusses the pathophysiology of BP, focusing on the role of type 2 inflammation and blister formation
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.
Skin Dyspigmentation In Prurigo Nodularis (PN)
This infographic illustrates the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and impact on patients of skin dyspigmentation in Prurigo Nodularis.
