Medical Application of Microbial Biopolyesters Polyhydroxyalkanoates
Open accessAbstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a family of polyesters synthesized by microorganisms under unbalanced growth conditions. PHA including poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyhexanoate (PHBHHx), and poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate (PHO) are now available in sufficient quantity for tissue engineering medical application studies due to their reasonable biocompatibility, adjustable mechanical properties, and controllable biodegradability. This paper reviews many achievements based on PHA for medical devices development, tissue repair, artificial organ construction, drug delivery, and nutritional/therapeutic uses. Combined with the recent FDA approval for P4HB clinical application, one can expect a good prospect for PHA application in the medical fields.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
