Resumen:
anoparticle-cored dendrimers (NCDs) are now offering themselves as versatile carriers
because of their colloidal stability, tunable membrane properties and ability to encapsulate or
integrate a broad range of drugs and molecules. This kind of hybrid nanocomposite aims to
combine the advantage of stimuli-responsive dendritic coating, in order to regulate the drug
release behaviour under different conditions and improve the biocompatibility and in vivo halftime
circulation of the inorganic nanoparticles. Size, surface chemistry and shape are key
nanocarrier properties to evaluate. Here, we have reviewed the most recent advances of NCDs
in drug delivery systems, compared their behaviour with non-dendritic stabilized nanoparticles
and highlighted their challenges and promising applications in the future.
