"There is a strong need for new biodegradable materials that are suitable for scaffolds in tissue engineering of tendons and ligaments. In many cases, quick degradation rates are favorable, however, with respect to ligament and tendon replacement, slowly degrading polymers are clearly favored," scientists in the United Kingdom report.
"Prime candidates are members of the large class of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are thermoplastic/elastomeric biopolyesters that are slowly degraded by surface erosion....
