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.
ADVENT in Orlando, 2025
Type 2 inflammation contributes to many dermatologic diseases, which may lead to potentially life-changing burdens and challenges to patients and caregivers. By uncovering the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP, we can move forward in our understanding of each disease. Join global experts for an educational symposium on March 8th that will uncover the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP and explore questions driving current research in each disease.
How Does Protective Type 2 Immunity Become Harmful Type 2 Inflammation?
In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.
