Amazing footage from Griffiths' lab at +Cambridge University where the put a youtube movie online about a T-cell attacking a cancerous cell.
Professor Gillian Griffiths:
"Cells of the immune system protect the body against pathogens. If cells in our bodies are infected by viruses, or become cancerous, then killer cells of the immune system identify and destroy the affected cells. Cytotoxic T cells are very precise and efficient killers. They are able to destroy infected or cancerous cells, without destroying healthy cells surrounding them. The Wellcome Trust funded laboratory of Professor Gillian Griffiths, at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, investigates just how this is accomplished. By understanding how this works, we can develop ways to control killer cells. This will allow us to find ways to improve cancer therapies, and ameliorate autoimmune diseases caused when killer cells run amok and attack healthy cells in our bodies."

How many people will give up their total internet privacy to Google for 25$? I can understand that google would like to get access to this kind of data but I'm a bit surprised that they are not a bit more clear about what they are going to do with this data and what exactly they are going to store (and will it be linked to your Google account/cookie)

Interesting to see how the london riots help optimising the way police and courts deal with these kind of "simple" cases and how things like video conferencing straight from police jail makes first appearal much easier.
