    The Happiest Swimmer in the Ocean
    **MANDATORY CREDIT GARY FLORIN/REX FEATURES**

    THE HAPPIEST SWIMMER IN THE OCEAN

    The credit has crunched, the weather is cold, but nothing can wipe the smile from this little fellow's face.

    Called a Piglet Squid, this sea creature always looks cheerful thanks to what appears to be a huge grin.

    About the size of a small orange, the squid - Latin name Helicocranchia pfefferi - can commonly be found in deepwater (greater than 100m) in most of the world's oceans.

    But this cute chap is more distinctive than most thanks to pigments which dot its skin - making it seem like the happiest swimmer in the ocean.

    Scientists gave it the name thanks to its tuft of eight arms and two tentacles on its 'head', as well as its habit of looking porky when inflated with water.

    Its body is almost totally clear revealing a dark mass that is the internal organs and barely visible, feather-like gills. It also has a large light producing organ (photophore) beneath each of its eyes.

    The picture was taken by California's Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. CMA Director Mike Schaadt says: "Our photographer Gary Florin took a marvellous picture of this rarely seen yet fairly common member of the deep sea plankton community. The angle Gary took the picture at makes it look comical."

    First Synthetic Organ Transplant Paves Way For The Future
    A unique liquid that can potentially be transformed into a human heart and other organs?

    It sounds like science fiction but Professor Alex Seifalian and his team are on their way to making it science fact.

    53-year-old Seifalian, who is Professor of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine at University College London, has helped to create a kind of liquid plastic that could, in the future, be used to make transplantable organs.

    In fact the first such operation has already gone ahead with Prof Seifalian and his team helping to create a trachea used in the world's first wholly synthetic organ transplant.

    The operation in Sweden saw a man have a section of his windpipe replaced with a piece built from his own stem cells and Prof Seifalian's polymer.

    Without the substitute trachea the patient, whose own windpipe had been blocked by a tumour the size of a golf ball, would have died.

    The substance used to help create the synthetic trachea, and which has been developed by Pro Seifalian and his team, is polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-poly (carbonate-urea) urethane (POSS-PCU).

    It is a liquid plastic that sets solid when it is heated up or cooled down and contains billions of tiny holes.

    In order to create the synthetic trachea the patient was first scanned using 3D computerised tomography (CT).

    These images were then used to form a glass mould that was a perfect copy of his trachea. In turn, this was used to develop a 'scaffold' using the POSS-PCU.

    This scaffold was then sent to Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden where stem cells from the patient's bone marrow and linings from his nose were incorporated into it.

    After two days, the millions of nano-scale holes in the porous synthetic trachea had been seeded with the patient's own tissue.

    First Synthetic Organ Transplant Paves Way For The Future
    A unique liquid that can potentially be transformed into a human heart and other organs?

    It sounds like science fiction but Professor Alex Seifalian and his team are on their way to making it science fact.

    53-year-old Seifalian, who is Professor of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine at University College London, has helped to create a kind of liquid plastic that could, in the future, be used to make transplantable organs.

    In fact the first such operation has already gone ahead with Prof Seifalian and his team helping to create a trachea used in the world's first wholly synthetic organ transplant.

    The operation in Sweden saw a man have a section of his windpipe replaced with a piece built from his own stem cells and Prof Seifalian's polymer.

    Without the substitute trachea the patient, whose own windpipe had been blocked by a tumour the size of a golf ball, would have died.

    The substance used to help create the synthetic trachea, and which has been developed by Pro Seifalian and his team, is polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-poly (carbonate-urea) urethane (POSS-PCU).

    It is a liquid plastic that sets solid when it is heated up or cooled down and contains billions of tiny holes.

    In order to create the synthetic trachea the patient was first scanned using 3D computerised tomography (CT).

    These images were then used to form a glass mould that was a perfect copy of his trachea. In turn, this was used to develop a 'scaffold' using the POSS-PCU.

    This scaffold was then sent to Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden where stem cells from the patient's bone marrow and linings from his nose were incorporated into it.

    After two days, the millions of nano-scale holes in the porous synthetic trachea had been seeded with the patient's own tissue.

    FL: GIANT EYEBALL FOUND AT POMPANO BEACH
    A giant blue eyeball was found by a man at Pompano Beach, Florida on 10 October 2012. The eyeball was put on ice and brought to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg for analysis. Agency spokeswoman Carli Segelson says the eyeball likely came from a marine animal, since it was found on a beach. Possible candidates include a giant squid, a whale or some type of large fish.
