Angiogenesis is one of the best-described tumor hallmarks. Targeting angiogenesis is becoming a successful strategy to suppress cancer growth. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the fulcrum of angiogenesis, contributes to vascular and cardiac homeostasis. Angiogenesis inhibitors classically associated with vascular side effects are increasingly recognized for cardiac adverse effects as reflected by several meta-analyses. A global approach to these findings is a pressing need, and future strategies involving collaboration among different medical specialties are highly encouraged.

Testing for developmental toxicity is an integral part of chemical regulations. The applied tests are laborious and costly and require a large number of vertebrate test animals. To reduce animal numbers and associated costs, the zebrafish embryo was proposed as an alternative model.

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an intriguing therapeutic target in cancer re-search, distinguished as the only HDAC family member predominantly located in the cyto-plasm. HDAC6 features two catalytic domains and a unique ubiquitin-binding domain, which sets it apart from other HDACs. Beyond its role in histone deacetylation, HDAC6 targets vari-ous nonhistone substrates, such as α-tubulin, cortactin, Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90), and Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1).

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common and aggressive malignancies of the urinary system. Despite being the first-line treatment for advanced ccRCC, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors (VEGFRis) face significant limitations due to both initial and acquired resistance, which impede complete tumor eradication. Using a CRISPR/Cas9 library screening approach, was identified as a resistance-associated gene for three prevalent VEGFRis (Sunitinib, Axitinib, and Sorafenib).

The advent of immunotherapy represents a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment, with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4 demonstrating remarkable therapeutic efficacy. However, patient responses to immunotherapy vary significantly, with immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment (TME) being a critical factor influencing this variability. Immunosuppression plays a pivotal role in regulating cancer progression, metastasis, and reducing the success rates of immunotherapy.
