Meet the Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the "immortal jellyfish", which has a remarkable ability to reverse its ageing ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

There’s evidence to suggest that the comb jellyfish was the first animal to appear on Earth some 700 million years ago.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Few, however, have evolved to break the typical life cycle. The aptly named immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) is one such animal — and, in a surprise discovery now published in ...
