• Scientists have discovered a comb jellyfish, Mnemiopsis leidyi, with an extraordinary ability to revert from its adult form back to its larval stage, defying the natural limits of aging.

• This 'time-traveling' jellyfish challenges our understanding of early animal development and rejuvenation, offering potential insights into life cycle plasticity and regenerative medicine.

The jellyfish's unique adaptation allows it to survive starvation and physical stress by resetting its biological clock and regaining youthful characteristics.

• While the discovery raises intriguing possibilities, scientists emphasize the need for further research before such 'immortality' can be applied to other species, including humans.


:wow:
