Almost by chance, researchers in Norway found adult comb jellies reverse their development and become larva again when stressed by starvation. It helps them survive because larva eat less than the ...

They found that when adult Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish were stressed, they reverted to an earlier stage in their life-cycle — rather than die. Normally, the adults (medusae) release a free-swimming ...

However, a few have evolved unique traits that allow them to escape this usual life cycle. The latest discoveries by researchers about a jellyfish, Turritopsis Dohrnii, indicate that the marine animal ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about the so-called immortal jellyfish. The comb jelly, also known by its scientific ...

This indicated that the comb jellyfish might be capable of reverting back to a youthful, larval state under certain conditions. The researchers found that extreme stress seemed to trigger this ...

Scientists have discovered a marine animal that can reverse its aging process. The comb jelly, a jellyfish-like creature, can ...

as the similarly goopy ocean blob Turritopsis dohrnii (or “immortal jellyfish”) can restart its life from the beginning when ...

Researchers suggest that this life-cycle flexibility, previously thought rare, may be more widespread than we realized.

Turritopsis dohrnii follows a typical jellyfish life cycle, beginning as a larva and maturing into a polyp and then an adult ...

Comb jellies could be one of the first animals to have existed in the world as their presence goes back 700 million years.

There’s evidence to suggest that the comb jellyfish was the first animal to appear on Earth some 700 million years ago.
