Effect of phosphorus dendrimers on DMPC lipid membranes

► DMPC LUVs and MLVs interacted with phosphorus dendrimers G3 and G4. ► DSC and ζ-potential measurements have shown that dendrimers affect the surface charge and the phase behavior of lipid vehicles. ► Effects are dependent of the generation of dendrimers. ► The results will be useful to overcome some of the drug delivery problems.
