In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Amy Paller discusses the pathophysiology of skin barrier dysfunction in AD and how regulating IL-4 and IL-13 signaling may lead to restoration of the skin barrier. Dr Paller goes on to explore how reducing certain biomarkers, such as CCL17 (TARC), may reduce inflammation that contributes to AD severity in pediatric patients.
Dr Donna Culton walks through the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation in inflammatory skin diseases, using bullous pemphigoid as an example. Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, and Hawkes join to discuss the role of type 2 inflammation across atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, respectively.
