mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSCs) attachment and<br />
viability [43]. Moreover, poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) (P3HO),<br />
another representative MCL PHA, blending or grafting with<br />
other polymers, had good biocompatibility with Chinese<br />
hamster ovary cells, human microvascular endothelial<br />
cells, MC3T3-E1, hMSCs, primary Schwann cell et al [44,<br />
45, 46]. Inspiringly, MCL PHA for a number of biomedical<br />
applications had been consolidated and thus promising<br />
improved biocompatibility [47].<br />
Biosynthetic polymers as medical implants or devices<br />
should come with the ability to disintegrate themselves<br />
into non-hazardous products to prevent inflammatory<br />
responses in vivo, which is another important aspect of<br />
medical applications. Hence, information regarding the<br />
biodegradable products of PHAs is momentous for its<br />
exploitation as a medical biomaterial. The cell growth<br />
promotion effects can be attributed to biological effects of<br />
3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), the most active monomer of PHA<br />
with nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic responses [37, 48, 49].<br />
It was found that 3HB promoted the maintenance of NSC<br />
stemness by accelerating their cell cycle via the MAPK-Erk<br />
pathway and promoting the expression of the NSC marker<br />
Sox2 [33]. Therefore, the intrinsic biocompatible properties<br />
of PHA make them promising biomaterials in tissue<br />
regeneration applications.<br />
From the above studies, all available PHAs have been<br />
found biocompatible and biodegradable both in vitro and<br />
in vivo, they can support cell and tissue growth with very<br />
limited immunological responses. Therefore, all studies<br />
conducted so far revealed that PHAs are strong candidates<br />
for uses in different medical implant applications.<br />

Table 1. The compatibility of four<br />
commercially available PHA.<br />
At the same time, the rapid development of synthetic biology,<br />
gene editing, metabolic engineering and other technologies<br />
has further expanded the variety and commercial application<br />
prospects of PHA [42]. Same as the above four commercialscale<br />
PHA, the biocompatibility of these laboratory-scale<br />
PHA was also investigated preliminarily. For instance,<br />
Naveen et al. used saponified palm kernel oil and its major<br />
free fatty acids as carbon substrates for the production of<br />
an unmodified/raw medium chain length PHA (MCL PHA)<br />
and confirmed that this PHA could support human-derived<br />
