Clinical diagonal translation of nanoparticles: Case studies in dendrimer nanomedicine

Among the numerous nanomedicine formulations, dendrimers have emerged as original, efficient, carefully assembled, hyperbranched, polymeric nanoparticles based on synthetic monomers. Dendrimers are used either as nanocarriers of drugs or as drugs themselves. When used as drug carriers, dendrimers are considered 'best-in-class agents', modifying and enhancing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the active entities encapsulated...
