Soon, we’ll all have our jellyfish facial shots. Re-pubertizing. It blows my mind that something that looks like a bag of snot has figured out a way to live forever. I guess the life of a bag of snot is pretty damn sweet. Dancing to and fro on the dark currents of the water. Periodically stinging to death anything that crosses its path. tulletulle:
Researchers have discovered the first potentially immortal jellyfish, a species called Turritopsis nutricula. They can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature, periodically restarting its life-cycle. The rejuvenation relies on transdifferation, the transformation of one mature cell type into another. All evidence suggests that Turritopsis can repeat this process indefinitely, meaning that it will never die as a consequence of aging. Researchers suggested that studying the Turritopsis could lead to breakthroughs in reversing the human aging process.
