Scientists study the immortal jellyfish to learn about its DNA reproduction, life cycle and telomeres. New research reveals its special genes.
T. dohrnii is the only species that is biologically immortal, and now scientists have peered into its DNA to find out what lets it live forever.
Scientists say medication also used after undergoing an organ transplant is capable of extending life with only brief use
COLOGNE, Germany — A drug that patients normally take during cancer therapy may have the power to increase the human lifespan, a new study reveals. Researchers in Germany say rapamycin can cause side-effects when patients take it as a lifelong anti-aging treatment. However, their new report finds even brief usage can have a dramatic impact on longevity while cutting down on side-effects.

Button was suffering from a rare ailment that made him age backward. Meanwhile, in another similar scenario, a species of jellyfish — called turritopsis dohrnii — seems to have reached immortality.
Circa 2020 The axolotl’s ability to regenerate limbs has now be localized by researchers. This can lead to an end of illness and aging aswell.
A novel CRISPR-based genetic screen of candidate regeneration genes in haploid axolotl limbs reveals two genes required for proper regeneration.

Summary: Brief exposure to Rapamycin, a promising anti-aging drug that has positive effects on health and lifespan, has the same effect as long-term exposure to the drug in animal models. The findings pave the way for testing the effects of short-term rapamycin exposure on the lifespan of humans.

Imagine you could take a medicine that prevents the decline that come with age and keeps you healthy. Scientists are trying to find a drug that has these effects.
The T. dohrnii can turn itself from a full-grown jellyfish all the way back to its juvenile stage as a polyp on the seafloor.
