A species of jellyfish seems to have reached immortality. A team of Spanish researchers has been successful in deciphering the genome of a jellyfish famed for its capacity to resurrect itself after death. Find out more at engineering
like this jellyfish because we are not jellyfish,” she said. But it’s possible something in the immortal jellyfish’s evolutionary trick can be used to better understand the pathologies of aging," Pascual-Torner said.
The study contained an important message about extending an organism's health span, or healthy years, according to Dr. Jan Karlseder, a molecular biologist and director of the Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at the Salk Institute. "The most interesting thing is that it’s not a single molecular pathway…It is a combination of many of them,” he said.
"If we want to look for an extension of healthspan, we cannot just focus on one pathway. That will not be sufficient. We need to look at many of them and how they synergize," he added.Turritopsis dohrnii is the only metazoan able to rejuvenate repeatedly after its medusae reproduce, hinting at biological immortality and challenging our understanding of aging. We present and compare whole-genome assemblies of T.
