Abstract
Nanoparticle-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 advantages of stimuli-responsive dendritic coatings, in order to regulate the drug release behaviour under different conditions and improve the biocompatibility and in vivo half-time 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.

Abstract
Acidity, hypoxia, and glucose levels characterize the tumor microenvironment rendering pH, pO2, and pGlucose, respectively, important indicators of tumor health. To this end, understanding how these parameters change can be a powerful tool for the development of novel and effective therapeutics. We have designed optical chemosensors that feature a quantum dot and an analyte-responsive dye. These noninvasive chemosensors permit pH, oxygen, and glucose to be monitored dynamically within the tumor microenvironment by using multiphoton imaging.

Abstract
Oligoarabinofuranoside-containing glycolipids relevant to mycobacterial cell wall components were synthesized in order to understand the functional roles of such glycolipids. A series of linear tetra-, hexa-, octa- and a branched heptasaccharide oligoarabinofuranosides, with 1 → 2 and 1 → 5 α-linkages between the furanoside residues, were synthesized by chemical methods from readily available monomer building blocks. Upon the synthesis of glycolipids, constituted with a double alkyl chain-substituted sn-glycerol core and oligosaccharide fragments, biological studies were performed to identify the effect of synthetic glycolipids on the biofilm formation and sliding motilities of Mycobacterium smegmatis. Synthetic glycolipids and arabinofuranosides displayed an inhibitory effect on the growth profile, but mostly on the biofilm formation and maturation. Similarly, synthetic compounds also influenced the sliding motility of the bacteria. Further, biophysical studies were undertaken, so as to identify the interactions of the glycolipids with a pulmonary surfactant protein, namely surfactant protein A (SP-A), with the aid of the surface plasmon resonance technique. Specificities of each glycolipid interacting with SP-A were thus evaluated. From this study, glycolipids were found to exhibit higher apparent association constants than the corresponding oligosaccharide portion alone, without the double alkyl group-substituted glycerol core.

Abstract
This work is focused on the synthesis and optical properties of cone-shaped structural feature di-dendron polyamidoamine dendrimers up to the third generation with mono-Boc-protected ethylenediamine (EDA) as a core. Strong UV absorbance spectra and fluorescence spectra from di-dendron dendrimers with different terminal groups (-NH(2), -COOCH(3)) were studied under different conditions by varying experimental parameters such as concentration and pH. The optical density and fluorescence intensities increased when di-dendron dendrimers generation number increased from 0.5 to 3.0. It was confirmed that the concentration of di-dendron dendrimers plays an important role in fluorescence intensity. The increase in fluorescence intensity was linear in low concentration regions, but the intensity increased slowly in high concentration regions. The results also showed a rapid increase in fluorescence intensity at low pH. The formation of a fluorescence-emitting moiety had a close relationship to protonated tertiary amine groups in di-dendron dendrimers derived from mono-Boc-protected EDA cores. Furthermore, the formation of fluorescent chemical species was irreversible.

Abstract
This article proposes a systematic framework for unifying and defining nanoscience based on historic first principles and step logic that led to a "central paradigm" (i.e., unifying framework) for traditional elemental/small-molecule chemistry. As such, a Nanomaterials classification roadmap is proposed, which divides all nanomatter into Category I: discrete, well-defined and Category II: statistical, undefined nanoparticles. We consider only Category I, well-defined nanoparticles which are >90% monodisperse as a function of Critical Nanoscale Design Parameters (CNDPs) defined according to: (a) size, (b) shape, (c) surface chemistry, (d) flexibility, and (e) elemental composition. Classified as either hard (H) (i.e., inorganic-based) or soft (S) (i.e., organic-based) categories, these nanoparticles were found to manifest pervasive atom mimicry features that included: (1) a dominance of zero-dimensional (0D) core-shell nanoarchitectures, (2) the ability to self-assemble or chemically bond as discrete, quantized nanounits, and (3) exhibited well-defined nanoscale valencies and stoichiometries reminiscent of atom-based elements. These discrete nanoparticle categories are referred to as hard or soft particle nanoelements. Many examples describing chemical bonding/assembly of these nanoelements have been reported in the literature. We refer to these hard:hard (H-n:H-n), soft:soft (S-n:S-n), or hard:soft (H-n:S-n) nanoelement combinations as nanocompounds. Due to their quantized features, many nanoelement and nanocompound categories are reported to exhibit well-defined nanoperiodic property patterns. These periodic property patterns are dependent on their quantized nanofeatures (CNDPs) and dramatically influence intrinsic physicochemical properties (i.e., melting points, reactivity/self-assembly, sterics, and nanoencapsulation), as well as important functional/performance properties (i.e., magnetic, photonic, electronic, and toxicologic properties). We propose this perspective as a modest first step toward more clearly defining synthetic nanochemistry as well as providing a systematic framework for unifying nanoscience. With further progress, one should anticipate the evolution of future nanoperiodic table(s) suitable for predicting important risk/benefit boundaries in the field of nanoscience.

Abstract
A simple synthesis of polymer core-dendrimer shell nanoparticles (NPs) in the 15-20-nm-diameter range is presented. Amine-terminated polypropyleneimine (PPI) dendrimers DAB-dendri-(NH(2))(4) and DAB-dendri-(NH(2))(16) (DAB4 and DAB16) are covalently attached to the surface of primary polystyrene-based NPs bearing reactive chlorobenzyl groups produced by microemulsion polymerization in the presence of a cationic surfactant. The grafting readily proceeds under mild conditions and leads to translucent aqueous suspensions of core-shell-type NPs with a high density of peripheral amine groups that have been characterized relative to their size and chemical composition. The dendritic shell acts as a protective ionizable outer layer and provides an improvement of the colloidal stability in neutral and acidic media. The metal-binding capacity of the PPI dendrimers is retained, and spectrophotometric titrations show that the dendrimer-grafted NPs can trap a large number of Cu(2+) ions (more than 900 Cu per NP-DAB16). These properties make them potentially valuable templates for the elaboration of hybrid nanomaterials. The reactivity of the external amine groups is used to link covalently azobenzene chromophores (disperse Red 1 residues) through aza-Michael addition in aqueous suspension. This simple method gives access to colored NPs with high dye contents in the outer layer (up to 1000-1500 dye molecules per NP), which indicates that dendrimer-functionalized NPs are valuable building blocks for the construction of multifunctional nanomaterials.

Abstract
The use of quantum dots for biological and biomedical applications is one of the fastest moving fields of nanotechnology today. The unique optical properties of these nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals make them an exciting fluorescent tool for in-vivo and in-vitro imaging as well as for sensoric applications. To apply them in biological fluids or aqueous environment it is essential to modulate the chemical nature of quantum dot surfaces to alter their solubility and add additional chemical functionalities. By employing different coating technologies they cannot only be rendered water soluble but also functionalized to fulfill different tasks, like receptor targeting or sensing of low molecular weight substances. To achieve this goal different polymeric coatings are applied to provide solubility in water and additional functional groups for attachment. Taken together the versatile modifications described in this review make quantum dots a promising alternative to conventional fluorescent dyes and may offer possibilities for new future developments.
