Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary science that combines engineering, medicine, and physiology to repair damaged tissues or regenerate lost tissues through the growth and proliferation of cells. This process is carried out within a structure known as a scaffold. Scaffolds as bio-composites are used in various areas such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing and skin regeneration. These structures are porous, providing a suitable environment for cell proliferation and growth. In designing scaffolds as a platform for cell growth, it is necessary to consider key factors such as pore size and distribution, hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, desirable mechanical properties, and the ability to mimic complex three-dimensional structures to support the aims of tissue engineering. Scaffold modification is performed to enhance their efficiency and performance, as well as to overcome existing limitations and challenges. Among dendrimers, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) has been widely used for surface modification of scaffolds, due to its biocompatibility, controllable size, and low immunogenicity. One example is the incorporation of second-generation PAMAM into polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for the delivery of the anticancer drug curcumin to evaluate its anticancer activity. The results showed that with increasing PAMAM concentration, the inhibition rate of breast cancer cells increased from 31.5% to 42.4%. In this article, tissue engineering, the application of dendrimer-modified scaffolds, and the improvement of scaffold properties in tissue engineering are introduced.
