A New Antimicrobial Agent: Poly (3-hydroxybutyric acid) Oligomer.

abstract：:Given the major structural role phosphodiesters play in the organism it is surprising they have not been more widely adopted as a building block in sophisticated biomimetic hydrogels and other biomaterials. The potential benefits are substantial: phosphoester-based materials show excellent compatibility with blood, ce...
