To test whether this comb jelly was actually two individuals who had fused together, the scientists tested individual ctenophores collected at different sites on separate dates. After cutting off ...

A recent study has revealed the extraordinary capacity for reverse development in the ctenophore, or comb jelly, specifically in the species Mnemiopsis leidyi. Comb jellies seem to use the strategy of ...

Yet a pair of recent studies about comb jellies raise provocative questions about Descartes’ maxim. The first is a study from the journal Current Biology found that ctenophores, a phlyum of ...

Comb jellies demonstrate a unique survival strategy in stress Researchers reveal ability to revert from adult to juvenile form Groundbreaking findings may reshape ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a marine animal that can reverse its aging process. The comb jelly, a jellyfish-like creature, can revert to a younger state when stressed. This discovery challenges ...

Researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway realized they had a de-aging specimen in their lab when they found a larval ctenophore in a tank where a mature comb jellyfish was supposed to be.

Reverse development, where some animals can turn back to earlier life stages instead of aging normally, has now been documented in the Atlantic comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, often known as the ...

Among them, the 'immortal jellyfish' (Turritopsis dohrnii) has long been recognised for its ability to revert to an earlier stage of life. Now, researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway have ...

I njured comb jellies can merge their bodies with other comb jellies, forming a giant hybrid sea creature with multiple buttholes and shared digestive and nervous systems. That's the latest ...
