Self-perceived study on spirituality and productivity among tissue engineering and regenerative medicine researchers in Malaysia

There is little to suggest that tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (henceforth TERM) research productivity in Malaysia has been studied from the aspect of spiritual well-being of a researcher. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the spirituality level and productivity among local TERM re...
