Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules with a well-defined structure. Their distinct shape and size make them ideal carriers for drugs, allowing for controlled release and targeted delivery to specific cells or tissues. In recent years, drug delivery has been revolutionized by the development of dendrimers. These unique nanostructures can capsulize and deliver drugs with precision, offering targeted therapy with reduced side effects.

In the complex world of cellular machinery, one central organelle is pivotal in orchestrating various cellular processes: the centrosome. Known as the major microtubule-organizing center, the centrosome organizes the microtubule network necessary for cell division, motility, and shape. However, recent studies have uncovered a new function of the centrosome -- as a point for localized mRNA retranslation. RNA localization is a crucial mechanism for achieving precise regulation of gene…
