PAMAM dendrimers: blood-brain barrier transport and neuronal uptake after focal...
Santos, SD; Xavier, M; Leite, D; Moreira, D; Custódio, B; Torrado, M; Castro, R; Leiro, V; Rodrigues, J; Tomás, H; Pêgo, APDrug delivery to the central nervous system is restricted by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, with the onset of stroke, the BBB becomes leaky, providing a window of opportunity to passively target the brain. Here, cationic poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of different generations were functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to reduce cytotoxicity and prolong blood circulation half-life, aimin...
The Present and the Future of Degradable Dendrimers and Derivatives in Theranos...
Leiro, V; Garcia, J; Tomás, H; Pêgo, APInterest in dendrimer-based nanomedicines has been growing recently, as it is possible to precisely manipulate the molecular weight, chemical composition, and surface functionality of dendrimers, tuning their properties according to the desired biomedical application. However, one important concern about dendrimer-based therapeutics remains-the nondegradability under physiological conditions of the most commonl...
