Dendrimers and nanomedicine: multivalency in action
Olivier Rolland, Cédric-Olivier Turrin, Anne-Marie Caminade and Jean-Pierre Majoral
What is the contribution of dendrimers to the field of nanomedicine? Rather than disclosing an exhaustive catalogue of their possible applications, this review article sets a putative answer by showing the basics and the underlying concepts that make dendrimeric systems so attractive to nanomedicine, emphasizing on the extraordinary possibilities offered by their multivalent and defined structure.
