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.
