Dr. Jason Hawkes details the role of IL-4 and IL-13 in the pathophysiology of CSU at EADV 2025
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.

Join Dr. Lisa Swanson and Gina Mangin discussing myths and perceptions on understanding IL-31's role in modulating immune responses and exploring a possible link between IL-4 inhibition and conjunctivitis in AD.
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.

Join Lisa Swanson, MD, and Gina Mangin, MPAS, PA-C as they discuss the evaluation of the cytokine hierarchy in AD and the contributions of IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31 to itch.

In this highlight video from the ADVENT AD symposium held at EADV’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how IL-4 contributes to systemic type 2 inflammation in AD via several mechanisms, including T cell differentiation, B cell activation and IgE generation, and T regulatory cell inhibition.

This video features Dr. Lisa Swanson and Gina Mangin on the differential roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in atopic dermatitis pathogenesis and B-Cell activation at the Riptide conference on December 5, 2025.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares describes how IL-4 is the key cytokine involved in the initiation and perpetuation of Th2 cell responses and type 2 inflammation.

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 this video soundbite from the ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, Dr. Vibeke Backer discusses how Type 2 inflammation drives severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP. It covers key immune cells and biomarkers (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TSLP), global prevalence differences, and the importance of symptom tracking and targeted therapies.
The pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is complex and involves mast cell degranulation and elements of type 2 inflammation. Learn more about the role of mast cells, basophils, and type 2 inflammatory cells and cytokines involved in the pathophysiology of CSU.
