Nanofibers from polyhydroxyalkanoates and their applications in tissue engineering.This book presents the latest research on the uses of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), introducing readers to these natural, biodegradable polyesters produced by microorganisms, their functions and applications. The individual chapters discuss the various potentials of these bioplastics, which offer an attractive alternative to non-biodegradable plastics. The book also describes the diverse medical and biomedical applications of PHAs, including their use as drug carriers, memory enhancers, and biocontrol agents, and examines their role in creating a more sustainable economy – which is the need of the hour. .MicrobiologyBiomedical engineeringMicrobial ecologyMicrobiologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L23004Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/B24000Microbial Ecologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L19082Applied Microbiologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C12010Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineeringhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L16080Microbiology.Biomedical engineering.Microbial ecology.Microbiology.Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnology.Microbial Ecology.Applied Microbiology.Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering.579Kalia Vipin Chandraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910350360303321Biotechnological Applications of Polyhydroxyalkanoates1912445UNINA
