An Immortal Jellyfish
Spanish language explorer Juan Ponce de Leon wanted in vain for the Fountain of Youth that would confer endless life. Modern scientists humans may someday live as much as 500 years. (Bowhead whales in the Arctic have already been documented to live for more than a century.) Heck, right now there even a new motion picture out about one man quest to live forever.
Well, the search may be over, the objective of immortality attained by any hydrozoan jellyfish.
It appears that Turritopsis nutricula may certainly be Earth just immortal creature. (Be aware: The photo incorporates a similar hydrozoan jelly, the enormous bell jelly, Scrippsia pacifica.)
The important thing lies in T. nutricula life cycle, which (as with various other jellies) is quite different from your stages of most additional animals. Jellies exist equally as freeswimming adult medusae the variations with tentacles that we acquainted with and as anemonelike polyps, stalked creatures similar to jellies anemone and coral loved ones.
Typically, adult medusae develop larvae that negotiate and grow into polyps. The polyps then bud away new jellies that grow into adult medusae,www.sandlunds.se/parajumper/, and the period begins again.
I see. Unlike most pets that try to withstand the process of aging, this particular animal apparently can reverse the process of ageing. It like continually repairing a developing, rather than making it large enough to endure the weather.
If we could grow back tissue, we do something similar. The greatest concern however,www.sandlunds.se/parajumper/, is the human brain. You can simply splice a dog with human genes and then just switch the brain. Not only are you replacing the person, a person be giving the body an inexperienced brain. And then it will require time to habilitate that mind. However, if it has been possible to regrow components of the brain littlebylittle, then it would likely preserve both the thoughts and the memories. by incorporating slight changes obviously.
