Bullous Pemphigoid Mechanism of Disease Video
Explore the mechanism of disease of bullous pemphigoid (BP), including the roles of autoimmunity and type 2 inflammation, in this informative video.
Itch in Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases: Histaminergic and Nonhistaminergic Mechanisms and Role of IL-4 as a Central Orchestrator in Promoting Neuronal Sensitization
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.
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.
Exploring the Potential Role of Biomarkers in Managing Bullous Pemphigoid
Dr. Donna Culton discusses biomarkers in bullous pemphigoid and considers their potential clinical use.
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.
Understanding the Contribution of IL-4 in the Development of Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Amy Paller
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Amy Paller discusses two topics: 1) The importance of CCL17 (TARC) as a biomarker in pediatric patients with AD, and 2) How IL-4 and IL-13 contribute to skin barrier dysfunction in AD.
CSU is Unpredictable in its Course and Duration
Dr. Hawkes highlights how Chronic Urticaria is a mast cell centric disease with moderate levels of spontaneous remission in patients.
The Clinical Presentation of CSU is Heterogeneous
Dr Hawkes provides an overview of the distinctive characteristics of wheals and angioedema in clinical manifestation
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.
Unraveling the Link of Type 2 Inflammation and Airway Remodeling in Asthma
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she discussed on how type 2 inflammation may lead to airway remodeling in asthma, exploring the pathophysiologic mechanisms, that ultimately lead to structural changes and irreversible loss of lung function
The Weight of Breath: The Impact of Pediatric Asthma on Patients and Caregivers
Learn about the multifaceted burden of uncontrolled pediatric asthma on patients and their caregivers.
