Development and selection of an ideal scaffold is of importance for tissue
engineering. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) is a
biocompatible bioresorbable copolymer that belongs to the polyhydroxyalkanoate
family. Because of its good biocompatibility, PHBHHx has been widely used as a cell
scaffold for tissue engineering. This review focuses on the utilization of
PHBHHx-based scaffolds in tissue engineering. Advances in the preparation,
modification, and application of PHBHHx scaffolds are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
