This transformation process is called "transdifferentiation" and allows the jellyfish to start its life cycle over again.

This process, known as transdifferentiation, allows it to cycle back to the beginning of its life, potentially indefinitely, offering it a unique form of biological immortality. Through this ...

The animal kingdom has species with unbelievable adaptation skills to evade predators or survive harsh conditions. From Wood ...

This is not cellular transdifferentiation.) Even after we accept that functional differentiation to an heterologous cell type has been convincingly demonstrated, several additional issues require ...

To meet this need, our research applies a variety of systems to manipulate cell identity, including reprogramming, directed differentiation, transdifferentiation, and mouse models. We use molecular ...

The process behind the jellyfish's remarkable transformation is called transdifferentiation and is extremely rare. Medusa cells and polyp cells are different - some cells and organs only occur in the ...

The research of our laboratory lies in the interface between systems biology and cancer biology. We pursue the development of novel single cell methods for characterizing genomic, epigenetic and ...

Scientists call the near-miraculous process transdifferentiation. Moon jellies and their cousins, which include lion’s mane jellies and sea nettles, are known as true jellies. They belong to the ...

The immortal jellyfish is known for its remarkable ability to reverse its life cycle, potentially allowing it to live ...
