As COVID-19 lockdowns and quarantines are lifted, businesses are now faced with the challenge of how to keep their employees who are returning to work motivated and engaged.
A study led by a University of Illinois Chicago researcher shows that both employees and managers have an important part to play in promoting employee engagement during the pandemic.
The research, published in the
Journal of Applied Psychology, suggests employee engagement and performance are the highest when employees are mentally prepared for their return to work and their managers are strongly committed to employees health and safety at work. Given the turmoil and distress during lockdowns and quarantines, employees may have trouble reconnecting with their work. We wanted to find out what factors could help employees effectively stay engaged at work upon return. This is an important topic because highly engaged employees tend to intrinsically enjoy their work and outperform others, says le

For a long time, tissue engineering has relied on geometrically static scaffolds that are seeded with cells in the laboratory to make new tissues and even organs.

Generally, the scaffolding material is a biodegradable polymer structure that is provided with cells, and if the cells are supplied with proper nutrients, then they develop into a tissue as the basic scaffold biodegrades. However, this model disregards the exceptionally dynamic morphological processes that form the basis of the natural growth of tissues.
