Comb Jellies' Age-Reversing Abilities Offer Clues to Immortality

A recent study reveals that the warty comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, can reverse its age by reverting to its larval stage after experiencing stress or trauma, such as starvation or physical injury. This de-aging process, observed by researchers Joan J. Soto-Angel and Pawel Burkhardt, highlights the jelly's unique survival mechanism and opens up potential avenues for understanding the molecular mechanisms behind reverse development, with implications for broader biological research on aging and regeneration.

South Koreans Embrace Youthful Transformation with New Age-Counting Law

South Korea has implemented a new law that replaces the traditional age counting system with the international method, resulting in people waking up to find themselves a year or two younger. The traditional system, where a person is considered one year old at birth and ages increase on January 1, has caused confusion and legal disputes. The change is expected to reduce such issues and has been supported by 86% of South Koreans. The traditional system was unique to South Korea and was influenced by the importance of age in the Korean language. Another age-counting system for school years and military service remains unchanged.
