| Cool, they found a way that when about to die, changing cells to age backwards, thus repeating the process.

Turritopsis Nutricula is a Jellyfish that, once it reaches maturity (basically the end of its life), it reverses its own aging process and begins to grow younger, until it's a anemone once more, then begins to age again.
| Quote: | | The ability to reverse the life cycle is probably unique in the animal kingdom, and allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering the Turritopsis nutricula effectively immortal. |

Wow, how does that happen?
Can it do that forever?

Ok first of all, immortality in this article only refers to the process of reverse-aging.
The jellyfish itself can still be eaten up or ripped apart by a deep sea geyser.
Other than that it will not die of old age.

Couldn't scientists use that technique where they take a gene that triggers a specific function from one species and put it into another, for instance, us? |
I don't think we are that advanced yet... lol
I THINK it is impossible to read what exactly a specific chromosome does... it has so much genetic data it is impossible to find specific functions
