Disclosed are compositions and methods involving nucleic acid assemblies that enclose and/or protect cargo. Disclosed are compositions that include a nucleic acid assembly comprising one or more nucleic acid molecules and cargo comprising two or more cargo molecules. The nucleic acid assembly can have physiochemical properties that: (i) enhance targeting of the composition to one or more types of cells, tissues, organs, or microenvironments relative to other types of cells, tissues, organs, or microenvironments in vivo; (ii) enhance stability and/or half-life of the composition in vivo; and/or (iii) reduce immunogenicity of the composition. The nucleic acid assembly and/or cargo can have features that enhance intracellular trafficking of nucleic acid assembly and/or its cargo. The cargo can be enclosed and/or protected by the nucleic acid assembly. Some or all of the cargo molecules in the composition can be present in a defined stoichiometric ratio.

Symmetrically and asymmetrically branched homopolymers are modified at the surface level with functional groups that enable forming aggregates with a taxane, such as, paclitaxel and derivatives thereof, which are water insoluble or poorly water soluble. The aggregates are formed by interaction of a taxane and a homopolymer. Such aggregates improve drug solubility, stability, delivery and efficacy.
