Immune discovery 'may treat all cancer'  These newly discovered new type of T-cells have "receptors" on their surface that allow them to "see" at a chemical level. The Cardiff team discovered a T-cell and its receptor that could find and kill a wide range of cancerous cells in the lab including lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer cells.

Tiny robot frogs made from living cells 'an entirely new life-form'.  The world's first living robots have been built using stem cells from frog embryos, in a strange machine-animal hybrid that scientists say is an "entirely new life-form".  Dubbed "xenobots" because they are constructed of biological material taken from the Xenopus laevis frog, the little bots are the first to be constructed from living cells.

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Frances Arnold retracts paper.  A subsequent paper on enzymatic synthesis of beta-lactams was published in the journal Science in May 2019. It has been retracted because the results were not reproducible, and the authors found data missing from a lab notebook. Reproduction is an essential part of validating scientific experiments. If an experiment is a success, one would expect to get the same results every time it was conducted.

Why a brainless yellow 'blob' that can learn is mystifying scientists.  A yellow organism which looks like fungus but acts like an animal has gone on display at the Paris Zoological Park.  The slime mould - Physarum polycephalum - has almost 720 sexes and has been described as one of "nature's mysteries" by scientists.

Drug-resistant superbug spreading in Europe's hospitals Superbugs resistant to emergency antibiotics are spreading in hospitals, a Europe-wide study shows.  Drugs called carbapenems are used when an infection cannot be treated with anything else.  The spread of resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was "extremely concerning", researchers from the Sanger Institute said. And they warned other bugs could become resistant too - because of the unique way bacteria have sex.

Artificial life form has 'synthetic DNA' UK scientists have created an artificial version of the stomach bug E. coli that is based on an entirely synthetic form of DNA. At the same time, Syn61 as they are calling it, has had its genetic code significantly redesigned. It's been done in a manner that will pave the way for designer bacteria that could manufacture new catalysts, drugs, proteins and materials. Inventions, Mycoplasma, Genetic Variation, Genome, Dna

Hundreds of thousands of viruses in oceans: The oceans contain almost 200,000 different viral populations, according to the latest count. Marine viruses were found from the surface down to 4,000m deep and from the North to the South Pole. Though most are harmless to humans, they can infect marine life, including whales and crustaceans. And scientists are only just starting to understand how these tiny organisms play a role in the life and chemistry of the seas.
