TLDR
It was found that PHA producing bacteria are able to grow simultaneously limited by carbon and nitrogen substrates, and it became possible to produce PHA at high yields on toxic substrate and also control its composition accurately (tailor-made synthesis).About:

TL;DR: Current strategies in scaffold-guided tissue engineering approach, involving the most employed biodegradable polymers, either of natural or synthetic origin, will be reported underlying the role played by both material structure–property relationship and scaffold architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial synthesis of biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates
TL;DR: PHAs are immunologically inert and are only slowly degraded in human tissue, which means they can be used as devices inside the body and are therefore used mostly in applications that conventional plastics cannot perform, such as medical applications.
