Science and Speculation: The Creature that Never Dies

Weekly Wonder: The Immortal Jellyfish – A Creature That Defies Death

Imagine a creature that never truly dies. The Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish, has the incredible ability to revert its cells back to an earlier stage of life—essentially aging in reverse!

When faced with stress, injury, or starvation, this jellyfish transforms its adult cells into a young polyp state, restarting its life cycle over and over again. Scientists are studying this process to understand aging, cellular regeneration, and even potential medical breakthroughs for humans.

This tiny jellyfish might hold the secrets to biological immortality—but could we ever apply this to humans?
