Marine Biologists Discover Comb Jelly's Ability to Reverse Age
Researchers have discovered that the warty comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, can revert from adulthood to a larval state as a survival mechanism. This finding was made by marine biologist Joan J. Soto-Angel and his team at the University of Bergen. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that the comb jelly uses reverse development in response to extreme stress, such as starvation. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the species and opens new avenues for research into biological de-aging processes.
