RE: Aging in Reverse – Immortal Jellyfish
Interesting one @katerinaramm
Jellyfish which can age backward, it certainly holds so much to the science. But treating some diseased individual and making one immortal are different things and I can only say we are not compatible with the eternity. What would be the fun of living a immortal life to the eternity.
Thank you for commenting @vinamra! Yes, reversing the age and immortality is not the same thing.
I have found fascinating the fact that a species can live indefinitely and change its status back again and again. A lab that managed to capture this jellyfish has found out that in the 2 years of captivity, the jelly fish colony rebirthed 11 times!
This (immortality) is something really difficult to happen in the wild, there are many factors to be foreseen (starvation, predators). However, it does not change the fact that the 'transdifferentiation' can have many implementations in health & life in general.
Thank you again : )
