✦ Synopsis

The present issue of Macromolecular Bioscience is twinned with a parallel one in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 208, Issue 15), which is guest-edited by Holger Frey. Our intention is to present through these two issues a broad overview of the state of research on branched macromolecules (dendrimers, hyperbranched, comb or star polymers), focusing on one site mostly on issues of synthetic chemistry (preparation and use in catalysis), on the other primarily on the links between preparative aspects with interactions and responsiveness.
