Abstract
Many advanced synthetic, natural, degradable or non-degradable materials have been employed to create scaffolds for cell culture for biomedical or tissue engineering applications. One of the most versatile material is poly-lactide (PLA), commonly used as 3D printing filament. Manufacturing of multifunctional scaffolds with improved cell growth proliferation and able to deliver oligonucleotides represents an innovative strategy for controlled and localized gene modulation that hold great promise and could increase the number of applications in biomedicine. Here we report for the first time the synthesis of a novel Rhodamine derivative of a poly-amidoamine dendrimer (G = 5) able to transfect cells and to be monitored by confocal microscopy that we also employed to coat a 3D-printed PLA scaffold. The coating do not modify the oligonucleotide binding ability, toxicity or transfection properties of the scaffold that is able to increase cell proliferation and deliver miRNA mimics (i.e., pre-mir-503) into human cells. Although further experiments are required to optimize the dendrimer/miRNA ratio and improve transfection efficiency, we demonstrated the effectiveness of this promising and innovative 3D-printed transfection system to transfer miRNAs into human cells for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of heteroditopic receptor systems that can simultaneously bind cationic and anionic species is one of the most challenging research topics in supramolecular chemistry, attracting the attention of a large number of research groups worldwide. Such an interest is due especially to the fact that the overall receptor–ion-pair complex is neutral and this can be advantageous in many situations, such as salt solubilization and extraction, and membrane-transport applications. Receptors designed for ion-pair complexation are molecules comprising well-known anion-binding motifs and familiar cation-binding sites. An important family of compounds that can use metal Lewis-acidic centres for anion recognition and that can be easily derivatized to introduce an additional binding site for the cation is metal–salophen and metal–salen complexes. This short review shows that the high versatility of salen and salophen ligands and of the corresponding metal complexes allows, through simple modifications of the basic skeleton, the obtention of highly efficient receptors for ion pairs.
