Summary

• Dendrimers’ 3-D structure allows for interesting host-guest properties as well as attachment of reactive/diagnostic groups.

• Low/monodisperse dendrimers predictably displaying a high degree of functionality, make for an interesting complement to conventional polymers.

• Care must be taken for analysis of biocompatibility when developing new materials for biological applications.

• Commercial availability of dendrimers such as PAMAM has encouraged many scientists to enter into an interdisciplinary field.

A Dendrimer Perspective

• Dendrimer modularity, can enable attachment of multiple reporters, recognition groups, and cargo.
