A new opinion paper argues that proprioception should be redefined beyond a fixed biological feedback loop. The authors propose that proprioception should be better understood as a dynamic, interpretable interface that can be edited, augmented, and potentially surpassed through engineered signals—an idea that could reshape rehabilitation strategies and open new directions for performance enhancement in elite athletes.
Chemotherapy exerts systemic effects that extend beyond direct tumor cell killing, according to a new study led by Tatiana Petrova, professor at the Faculty of Biology and Medicine at the University of Lausanne, and published in Nature Communications.
A new study from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that marine microbes had mostly positive interactions with one another during a six-year study. These positive interactions became even more common during times of environmental stress.
