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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study led by Joan J. Soto-Angel, a postdoctoral fellow at the University Museum of Bergen, reveals that the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi can reverse from a mature lobate form back to an earlier ...

Scientists have discovered a new species of marine invertebrate that breaks the traditional cycle of birth, ageing, and death to which most animals are bound. Comb jellies, also known as ctenophore ...

In a new study, researchers led by Joan J. Soto-Angel, a Michael Sars Centre alumnus and current postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Natural History and University Museum of Bergen, report that ...

The organisms that merged are comb jellies, translucent invertebrates that resemble jellyfish but belong to a different group of marine animals called ctenophores. They grow to about 4 inches long ...
