Scientists have discovered an immortal jellyfish
In tropical waters live jellyfish Turritopsis nutricula. It is not very big, only about 5 mm, but in contrast, can live indefinitely.
Jellyfish usually die after propagating but Turritopsis nutricula not only died, but also to samoregenerira, thus younger.
This process is called transdiferentsiatsiya and allows specialized cells to return to the stage of the stem, thus Turritopsis nutricula can regenerate itself throughout his life. With this ability she has eternal life.
Turritopsis nutricula the only immortal creature known to scientists. Until this can be found jellyfish, immortality was a myth.
