The live and fresh characteristics of life and the complexity of the laws of its activities make any new discoveries to attract worldwide attention. Research advances in the field of life sciences in 2016 have been soul-stirring. This paper selects several cases from the research results, which are too numerous to enumerate, to review the typical study progress in this year. The selected cases are:cancer cell induced death of endothelial cells, new type of ectopic inhibitor against drug resistance gene mutation lung cancers, gene targeting scheme that may greatly reduce off-targeting phenomenon, accurate tumor-killing therapy using modified T cells with dual receptor high efficient tumor immunological, therapy, high efficient AIDS immunological therapy, with HIV universal effect anti-virus antibodies, the therapy of autoimmune diseases with the removal of lymphocytes which attacking the patients' own tissues, as well as the crystal regeneration innovation, the resolution of the mechanism of synaptic pruning. Extraordinarily, the problems of tumor treatment, gene editing and so on, have maintained a constant heat, and in 2016, outstanding achievements were still made.
