Dendrimers belong to the class of nanoparticles and are promising tools in nanomedicine. They are branched molecules built from repeating monomer units, so they can also be included in the polymer class.
This book provides a compact, up-to-date description of methods useful in studying biological properties of dendrimers. It focuses on biological properties of dendrimers and creates a practical guide that reviews the methods used to study these aspects of dendrimers. There is a need to describe a set of methods applied to characterise different types of dendrimers. Such standardisation will hopefully help to compare different families of dendrimers in the future. This book presents a methodological approach and provides useful tips how to study dendrimers.
