✦ Synopsis
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (white blood cells) cultured in the presence of dendrimers capped with phosphonate groups reveal a selective multiplication of natural killer (NK) cells. In their Communication on page 2523 ff., A.‐M. Caminade, R. Poupot, J.‐P. Majoral, and co‐workers describe the synthesis of various phosphazene dendrimers and their effect on NK cells, which play a key role in anticancer immunity. The picture shows a fluorescence microscopy image of a NK cell (red) engaged with target cancer cells (green).
