in Norway Scientists from the University of Bergen have made an interesting discovery during their research in their laboratories. It turned out that a species of jellyfish studied by scientists can age again. This species, known as Mnemiopsis leidyi or comb jellyfish, The second type of jellyfish known to be able to rejuvenate happened.

Researcher Joan J. Soto-Angel While studying in his laboratory, he encountered an interesting situation. The adult the researcher was studying comb jellyfish It suddenly returned to the larval stage, a much younger version of itself. Researchers set out to observe this situation and realized that the comb jellyfish can deteriorate with age when stressed.

This ability may be millions of years old

Scientists theorize that this interesting ability may be a trait that emerged millions of years ago. According to the researchers, such reversals may have been observed in one of the first animal species. This development The flexibility of living things in their life cycle It is argued that it is an important starting point for scientists who want to uncover developmental processes.

Soto Angel and his colleague Paul BurchardtIn their statement on the subject, they stated that their goal is to understand how the aging process works at the molecular level. According to the two researchers, their research also opened the door to new research into comb jellyfish.

To stop aging for people or take it all the way backat least for now, is a dream, but such discoveries could pave the way for reversing human aging in the future.
