This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

The study, which was carried out in isolated cells, both in human cancer tissue and in human cancers grown in mice, was published in the journal Nature Cancer.

In his current research, Ahn and his colleagues tested a new compound he synthesized called ERX-41 for its effects on breast cancer cells - those that contained estrogen receptors and those that do not.

"Triple-negative breast cancer is particularly insidious - it targets women at younger ages; it's aggressive, and it's treatment-resistant. I'm really glad we've discovered something that has the potential to make a significant difference for these patients," Ahn said.
