The Turritopsis dohrnii, often referred to as the "immortal jellyfish," is a small, transparent jellyfish found in the Mediterranean Sea and around Japan. What makes it extraordinary is its unique ability to revert to its juvenile form after reaching maturity. This process, known as transdifferentiation, allows the jellyfish to bypass death and potentially live indefinitely, essentially resetting its life cycle. This remarkable capability has fascinated scientists, offering insights into cellular regeneration and the aging process.
