✦ Synopsis

In the past year, significant advances have been made in the synthesis and study of glycodendrimers and peptide dendrimers. Application of these dendrimers to the study of carbohydrate-protein and protein-protein interactions has facilitated the understanding of these processes. In addition, dendrimers show great promise as DNA- and drug-delivery systems.
