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.
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.
Barrier disruption in AD and the development of environmental and food allergies
Dr Lio discusses the role of barrier disruption in AD, and the theory behind its association with environmental and food allergen sensitization.
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.
Hives vs. Itch: The Role of Type 2 Inflammation in Itch in CSU
Join Dr. Kim as he explores the pathogenesis of CSU and the mechanisms that promote itch in CSU. The complex interplay of type 2 inflammation in CSU is examined, offering insights into its unique challenges for patients and clinicians alike.
AD, PN, and CSU: Similar Inflammation, Distinct Itch
In this final video, Dr. Kim compares the shared and distinct pathophysiological features that drive itch in AD, PN, and CSU. He ties together the knowledge from earlier episodes, highlighting the similarities and differences in the mechanisms of itch across these diseases.
