Polyhydroxyalkanoates for tissue engineering

Anne John Michael Thursday 1st January 1970

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polyesters produced by microorganisms under unbalanced growth conditions (Doi 2002) have potential applications for medical and pharmaceutical purposes. The primary factor is because of their biodegradability. Nevertheless other favorable qualities such as their adaptability to suit the requirements of different applications, non-toxicity and thermoprocessibility properties have propelled their uses as tissue engineering biomaterials. Polyhydoxyalkanoates (PHA) and i…
