This book covers the structure, synthesis, characterization, and applications of dendrimers in drug delivery and other biomedical areas. This book aims to address challenges in modern drug delivery, including poor solubility and stability of drugs, lack of site-specific delivery, toxicity of conventional carriers, inefficient gene therapy delivery systems, and limited integration of therapy and diagnostics (theranostics). By exploring dendrimers as next generation nanocarriers, this book addresses how these unique macromolecules can offer precise, efficient, and safe solutions for complex therapeutic challenges in the pharmaceutical sciences. This book is intended for graduate students or researchers and professionals working on biomaterial research in the pharmaceutical and medical fields.
