Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with poor prognosis because of the lack of effective therapies. Mixed-lineage protein kinase 3 (MLK3) is a protein that is often upregulated in TNBC and involved in driving the tumorigenic potential of cancer cells. Here, we present a selective MLK3...
