Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of AD in Children
In this expert interview video focusing on topics from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert discusses the epidemiology of AD in children and the role of type 2 cytokines in driving the pathophysiology of the disease
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.
Spotlight on Type 2 Inflammation in the Upper and Lower Airways
In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Zuzana Diamant explains pathophysiological mechanisms underlying asthma and CRSwNP, and how type 2 inflammatory cytokines drive airway remodelling in patients with severe asthma. Additionally, patients with co-existing asthma and CRSwNP have a higher type 2 inflammatory burden than patients with asthma alone.
ADVENT On-Air Podcast: The Multifaceted Patient Burden and Drivers of Disease in Prurigo Nodularis
In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.
Blisters and Beyond: Autoimmunity Meets Type 2 Inflammation in Bullous Pemphigoid
Join Dr. Victoria Werth in exploring the clinical presentation of BP and how type 2 inflammation contributes to the development of disease signs and symptoms
Inside the Hive: Type 2 Inflammatory Pathways in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
Join Dr. Jason Hawkes in discussing the burden of CSU and how type 2 inflammation contributes to the development of chronic wheals (hives) and angioedema
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.
The Path to Nodules: Type 2 Inflammation at the Core of Chronic Itch and Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Join Dr. Shawn Kwatra in discussing the diverse clinical presentations of PN and the role of type 2 inflammation in disease pathogenesis.
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.
Interplay of Barrier Dysfunction and Type 2 Inflammation in EoE
Learn from Prof. Seema Aceves about the interconnectivity of type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction in mediating EoE pathophysiology.
Complex EoE Pathophysiology Beyond Esophageal Eosinophilia
Dr. Jonathan Spergel and Prof. Arjan Bredenoord highlight the importance of different immune cells in type 2 inflammation in EoE.
The Pathophysiology of Prurigo Nodularis
