Abstract: Dendrimer compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer or autoimmune diseases are described. The compositions include dendrimers complexed or conjugated with one or more active agents for the treatment or alleviation of one or more symptoms of cancer or autoimmune diseases. The dendrimers may include one or more ethylene diamine-core poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) hydroxyl-terminated generation-4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 dendrimers.
