The Amazing Jellyfish Immortality

One of the most fascinating creatures that inhabit the planet might have found the key to immortality: the Turritopsis dohrnii, more commonly known as the 'immortal jellyfish'.

Not in a metaphorical sense, this species literally defies death.

When faced with threats, stress, or simply old age, the jellyfish transforms its cells to return to its youthful polyp state.

This process, known as transdifferentiation, involves the conversion of one type of cell to another, which essentially allows the creature to 'reset'.

If not consumed by predators or disease, this tiny, transparent jellyfish could theoretically live indefinitely through repeated cycles of maturation and rejuvenation.

The Turritopsis dohrnii, therefore, doesn't die of natural causes, offering invaluable insights for scientific research on aging and biologic immortality..
