Bacterial infections caused by 'superbugs' are increasing globally, and conventional
antibiotics are becoming less effective against these bacteria, such that we risk entering a …

DNA is traditionally known as a central genetic biomolecule in living systems. From an
alternative perspective, DNA is a versatile molecular building-block for the construction of …

Nanoparticles are generally defined as any particulate material for which at least one
dimension lies in the range of 1− 100 nm. 1− 3 They can exist in various shapes, such as …

Nonspecific distribution and uncontrollable release of drugs in conventional drug delivery
systems (CDDSs) have led to the development of smart nanocarrier-based drug delivery …

At first glance, radical polymerization may be considered a mature technology with millions

Dendrimers are nano-sized, radially symmetric molecules with well-defined, homogeneous,
and monodisperse structure that has a typically symmetric core, an inner shell, and an outer …

Abstract Independent one‐, two‐, and even three‐dimensional nets interpenetrate each
other in many solid‐state structures of polymeric, hydrogen‐bonded nets and coordination …

Dendrimers are highly branched polymers with easily modifiable surfaces. This makes them
promising structures for functionalization and also for conjugation with drugs and DNA/RNA …
