Nothing About the Immortal Jellyfish Is Normal… Here’s Why

Описание: Nothing About the Immortal Jellyfish Is Normal… Here’s Why

The immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) is the only known animal capable of biological immortality. In this video, we explore how this jellyfish can reverse its life cycle, transform its adult cells back into stem cells, and potentially escape aging entirely.

Scientists call this process transdifferentiation — a rare biological phenomenon where specialized cells revert and rebuild the organism from scratch. Instead of dying from old age, the immortal jellyfish resets itself into its juvenile polyp stage and begins life again.

But how is this possible?

We break down:

How Turritopsis dohrnii reverses aging

What biological immortality actually means

Why most organisms can’t do this

The genetics behind cellular reprogramming

The link between aging, entropy, and evolution

How this discovery could impact regenerative medicine

You’ll also learn why death may not be a universal biological law, but an evolutionary strategy — and what the immortal jellyfish reveals about the flexibility of complex life.

If even one organism solved aging, what does that mean for the rest of us?
