"Jellyfish Regeneration Mirrors Mechanisms in Other Species"
Scientists have made a significant discovery in understanding how jellyfish regenerate lost limbs. A new study reveals that jellyfish form blastema, a cell type similar to stem cells, around injury sites to regrow tentacles, a process that can occur in less than 24 hours. This finding sheds light on the regeneration mechanism, which is different from other animals as these cells are not found at the base of the tentacle. However, the origin of the proliferative cells that form the blastema in jellyfish remains unknown, keeping some aspects of jellyfish regeneration a mystery.
