Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly aggressive with a poor clinical prognosis and no targeted therapy. The c-Myc protein is a master transcription factor and a potential therapeutic target for TNBC. In this study, we develop a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) based on TNA (threose n...
