London, Nov 16 : A Brit couple has rescued a rare albino hedgehog, which is believed to be one of only 100 in Britain, from their garden when they spotted it glowing in the dark.

Nick and Julie Packham made a 250-mile round trip through the night, to take the hedgehog to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, in Haddenham as they feared predators might pick him up.

The albino hedgehogs, which are one in 100,000, are born with the recessive gene that means they have no melanin pigment in their skin, eyes and spikes.

Experts at Cancer Research UK have said that improved knowledge of cancer''s biology means 18 percent of new drugs, compared to 5 percent previously - will become standard treatments. 

The hunt for cancer drugs is conducted on a large scale, but there is also a massive failure rate, as promising candidates fall by the wayside in clinical trials.
