Immortal Jellyfish / Бессмерная Медуза Turritopsis Nutricula

As a rule, after breeding, almost all jellyfish die. But in the warm ocean waters jellyfish, which was able to rejuvenate itself, was discovered, and it is called Turritopsis nutricula in Latin. Medusa, reaching 4-5 mm, was able to transform from a "adult state" into a state of "childhood" as a polyp. Scientists suggest: Jellyfish Turritopsis nutricula or others like it can live in the tropics, and in several other regions. They are expected to rank as immortal beings. Scientists have been studying the aging process of jellyfish and hydras for a long time, trying to discover the secrets of immortality. The theory of the immortality of hydra already existed in the 19th century. A century later it was proved by numerous experiments, proving that the hydra and jellyfish do not die from aging. Biologists have also learned about the "immortal" cells, capable of under conditions favorable to them, endlessly multiply. Some of these cells are called stem. http://facts-universe.blogspot.ru/2012/08/immortal-jellyfish.html
