'Când încerci să o omori meduza, nu moare' - O vietate de câțiva milimetri pare să fi descoperit secretul nemuririi

The Turritopsis dohrnii, known as the 'immortal jellyfish', can revert to its juvenile form, effectively avoiding death from aging. This unique ability allows it to restart its life cycle under stress. Marine biologist Maria Pia Miglietta explains that when faced with adverse conditions, this jellyfish can transform back into a polyp, a process called cellular transdifferentiation. While theoretically capable of living indefinitely in a lab, natural predators can end its life. Found in various global waters, this jellyfish embodies humanity's age-old quest for eternal life, captivating researchers with its remarkable regenerative abilities.
