- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, and Sorafenib was the only FDA-approved treatment for advanced cases until recently, highlighting the need for new therapies.
- This study developed a zebrafish drug screening platform to compare two new drugs, 419S1 and 420S1, with Sorafenib, finding that all three have anti-angiogenesis properties but 419S1 resulted in lower toxicity to both the liver and embryos.
- Ultimately, 419S1 and 420S1 showed better effectiveness in halting liver cancer growth compared to Sorafenib, suggesting the zebrafish model can aid in discovering safer and more effective treatments for HCC and personalized medicine

The terminology, treatment principles, drug combinations, dosage schedules and mechanisms of the immunosuppression medications on which contemporary transplant surgery is based are unfamiliar to plastic surgeons and most healthcare providers outside the field of transplantation medicine. With this in mind, the purpose of this manuscript is to provide plastic surgeons with a comprehensive and understandable review of key immunological principles relevant to composite tissue allotransplantation.
