Jellyfish, with their ethereal beauty and enigmatic life cycles, are capable of asexual reproduction through a process known as budding. Certain species can revert to an earlier stage of their life cycle, effectively regenerating themselves in perpetuity. This ability to oscillate between life stages has earned some jellyfish the moniker of "immortal." The mechanisms behind this remarkable process involve complex cellular signaling and regeneration pathways. Jellyfish offer a unique perspective on the possibilities of biological renewal and the potential for extending organismal lifespans, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the future of regenerative science.
