The mitotic checkpoint is a targetable vulnerability of carboplatin-resistant triple negative breast cancers

Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, lacking effective therapy. Many TNBCs show remarkable response to carboplatin-based chemotherapy, but often develop resistance over time. With increasing use of carboplatin in the clinic, there is a pressing...
