Dendrimers are well-defined, polymeric nanomaterials currently being investigated for biomedical applications such as medical imaging, gene therapy, and tissue targeted therapy. Initially, higher generation (size) dendrimers were of interest because of their drug carrying capacity. However, increased generation was associated with increased toxicity. The majority of studies exploring dendrimer toxicity...
Inherent nanomaterial characteristics, composition,
surface chemistry, and primary particle size,
are known to impact particle stability, uptake, and
toxicity. Nanocomposites challenge our ability to predict
nanoparticle reactivity in biological systems if they
are composed of materials with contrasting relative
toxicities. We hypothesized that toxicity would be
dominated by the nanoparticle...
