(A) The general structure of PHAs. (B) The R groups of various PHAs that have been utilized in cardiac tissue engineering. The short chain length PHAs (SCL-PHAs); monomers include 3HB: 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3HV: 3-hydroxyvalerate whilst for medium chain length PHAs (MCL-PHAs) that have been investigated monomers include 3HHx: 3-hydroxyhexanoate, 3HO: 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 3HD: 3-hydroxydecanoate and 3HDD: 3-hydroxydodecanoate.
