What Drives Chronic Itch and the Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis?
Watch this short video to learn how type 2 inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and neurosensitization contribute to chronic itch and the itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis
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.
Itch and Nodule Formation in PN: The Roles of Neuronal Dysregulation and Type 2 Inflammation
Explore the pathogenesis of PN with Dr. Kim as he explains how type 2 inflammation plays a significant role in eliciting intense itching. He provides a detailed look at the mechanisms at play in PN and how they contribute to the severity of symptoms.
Decoding Chronic Itch and More in PN: Implications of Real-World Data for Clinical Practice
Join Professors Matthias Augustin and Sarina Elmariah for an engaging ADVENT symposium as they explore the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in prurigo nodularis and chronic itch.
World Congress on Itch (WCI) 2023 | Miami
Exploration of the shared mechanisms of itch across AD, PN, and CSU as well as the distinct ways itch manifests in each disease.
Type 2 Inflammation Contributes to Itch and Fibrois in PN
Join Dr. Kwatra outlining the micro itch cycle involving type 2 cell polarization and cytokines that directly affect fibroblasts to cause more immune dysregulation in PN.
A Tale of Two Itches: Bridging the Gap With Type 2 Inflammation in PN and CSU
Join Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz as they explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.
Underlying Type 2 Inflammation Drives a Chronic Itch-Scratch Cycle in Atopic Dermatitis
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explains how underlying type 2 inflammation sustains the chronic itch-scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis, highlighting the interplay of barrier dysfunction, cytokine signaling, and neuronal activation.
Beyond Itch: The Multifaceted Role of IL-4/IL-13 in the Pathogenesis of PN
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.
Itch in AD: Inflammation and a Dysfunctional Skin Barrier
Investigate the pathogenesis of AD with Dr. Kim, exploring how its underlying type 2 inflammation specifically drives the sensation of itch. This deep dive reveals how inflammation perpetuates discomfort and presents ongoing challenges for managing itch in AD.
Expert Interview: Featuring Dr Shawn Kwatra on PN itch and impact on patients
Join Dr Kwatra as he dives deeper into the mechanism of lesion formation in Prurigo Nodularis and the impact the development of these skin lesions have on patient life.
