It Came From the Web!

The tiny Jellyfish Turritopsis Nutricula is actually able to revert to a younger state once it reaches sexual maturity.  Unlike most jellyfish that die after reproducing Turritopsis Nutricula can repeatedly revert back to a younger state.   This process is called transdifferentiation.  Scientist believe that the process can be repeated nearly infinitely, as a result the population of the tiny creatures has been growing and spreading steadily for sometime with a bit of help from bilge water transportation.

Be sure to check the wikipedia page for more info.  I really like the description — biologically immortal.  I sure wouldn’t mind turning back the clock once I reached a certain age.  I would love to know at what point this ability evolved, how it occurs and what makes it possible.
