The extracellular matrix is mimicked by a novel dendrimer‐based hydrogel, which exhibits a highly interconnected porous network, enhanced mechanical stiffness, and a low swelling ratio. The hydrogel system supports the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells without any cytotoxic effects. This dendrimer‐based hydrogel may serve as a model for developing new advanced materials with applications in tissue engineering.
