Immunology of Atopic Dermatitis (AD)
IMMERSE Program · March 25, 2026
Overview
This interactive module introduces the immunopathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, presenting the skin as an active immune organ. It explains how innate and adaptive immune responses drive disease development and clinical heterogeneity, reviews real-world challenges such as persistent symptoms and chronic flares, and outlines investigational approaches targeting early immune imbalance.
Learning Objectives
-
Summarize key innate and adaptive immune pathways involved in AD, including early costimulatory signaling that drives immune imbalance
-
Explain how these pathways contribute to heterogeneous symptoms, chronic flares, subclinical inflammation, and overall disease burden
-
Connect immune dysregulation to real-world treatment challenges, including persistent symptoms, dosing burden, and difficulty achieving sustained control
-
Understand how evolving knowledge of AD immunology supports earlier intervention and emerging treatment goals
