Abstract
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are the first complete dendrimer family to be
synthesized, characterized and commercialized. Based on this extensive activity, they
are recognized as a unique new class of synthetic nanostructures. Dendrimers allow
the precise control of size, shape and placement of functional groups that is desirable
for many life science applications. From this perspective, this review focuses on
crucial properties of biomimetic dendrimers that will broaden the potential for their
use as macromolecular vectors in novel drug delivery and biomedical applications.
