Almost by chance, researchers in Norway found adult comb jellies reverse their development and become larva again when stressed by starvation. It helps them survive because larva eat less than the ...

As long as that may sound, nothing compares to another kind of Cnidarian, a jellyfish, or more specifically, Turritopsis ...

They found that when adult Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish were stressed, they reverted to an earlier stage in their life-cycle — rather than die. Normally, the adults (medusae) release a free-swimming ...

The latest discoveries by researchers about a jellyfish, Turritopsis Dohrnii, indicate that the marine animal can reverse ageing to avoid dying. While reverse ageing has caught the attention of ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about the so-called immortal jellyfish. The comb jelly, also known by its scientific ...

The warty comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, a fascinatingly weird creature that can regenerate parts of its body, reproduce from ...

Comb jellies seem to use the strategy of aging in reverse as a survival strategy when they are under pressure.

This indicated that the comb jellyfish might be capable of reverting back to a youthful, larval state under certain conditions. The researchers found that extreme stress seemed to trigger this ...

Turritopsis dohrnii follows a typical jellyfish life cycle, beginning as a larva and maturing into a polyp and then an adult ...

Comb jellies could be one of the first animals to have existed in the world as their presence goes back 700 million years.

Turritopsis dohrnii, dubbed the immortal jellyfish, is the best-known of such species. A recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, has revealed a new member ...
