✦ Synopsis

A unique combination of a clearly defined particle structure and a very highly functionalized surface is offered by the topical dendrimers. Many groups work on this unusual molecular architecture to develop new applications. The most advanced progress in this respect is an MRI contrast agent based on dendrimers (see schematic representation) that facilitate the visualization of bloodstreams.
