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.
The Role of Type 2 Inflammation Across a Range of Pruritic Skin Diseases in Older Adults
Dr. Butler explores how type 2 inflammation is a common underlying mechanism in several prevalent chronic pruritic skin conditions affecting the elderly, such as CPUO, AD, BP, and PN
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
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.
The Role of IL-4 and IL-13 in the Pathophysiology of CSU
Dr. Jason Hawkes details the role of IL-4 and IL-13 in the pathophysiology of CSU at EADV 2025
Skin Dyspigmentation In Prurigo Nodularis (PN)
This infographic illustrates the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and impact on patients of skin dyspigmentation in Prurigo Nodularis.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Paula Luna
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Enno Schmidt highlights the role of type 2 cytokines involved in the dysregulated Type 2 immune responses that contribute to inflammation and subsequent itch in bullous pemphigoid.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Eric Simpson outlines why early, targeted control of type 2 inflammation may modify the course of atopic dermatitis by addressing upstream drivers of barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and itch.
Prurigo Nodularis: Type 2 Inflammation Links Neuronal Dysfunction and Fibrosis
This infographic highlights how PN is driven by type 2 inflammation, linking immune dysregulation, fibroblast activation, and neuronal dysfunction to nodule formation. It also shows how cytokine-mediated changes in neuronal architecture increase excitability and chronic itch, where resulting lesions and scarring significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being.
What Went Wrong? How Dysregulated Type 2 Immunity Contributes to AD, PN, CSU, and BP
This full video presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida features Dr. Eric Simpson, Dr. Shawn Kwatra, Dr. Jason Hawkes and Dr. Victoria Werth. The faculty present the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
