报告内容简介：

Due to their unique structure, well defined molecular weight and multivalency, dendrimers present an important potential for application in the biomedical field, such as in drug/gene delivery, tissue regeneration and diagnosis.

In this work, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of different generations (G3, G4, and G5) treated with ammonium persulfate(APS) were evaluated in liquid and solid state regarding their absorbance and photoluminescence properties. Furthermore, cytotoxicity and cellular uptake studies were performed using a metabolic activity assay and fluorescence microscopy, respectively.
