Scientists Uncover Jellyfish That Reverses Aging
Scientists have discovered that the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, can reverse its aging process, reverting from an adult to a larval stage under extreme stress. This finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, challenges current understanding of animal development and suggests that life cycle plasticity might be more widespread than previously thought. The discovery opens new avenues for research into the molecular mechanisms of reverse development and its implications for aging and biology.
