title: Low toxic, thermoresponsive dendrimers based on oligoethylene glycols with sharp and fully reversible phase transitions.
abstract: Novel first (G1) and second (G2) generation dendrimers based on three-fold branched oligoethylene glycol dendrons are efficiently synthesized which show characteristic thermoresponsive behavior and negligible cytotoxicity (for G2).
