How can an immortal jellyfish, "Turritopsis Dohrnii" help to extend human life?

Bacteria are immortal. The reason for that is bacteria transfer their DNA to their descendants. And that means bacteria are full copies of their parent cells. Immortality in higher animals than single-cell bacteria is not a very usual thing. But there is one biologically immortal jellyfish.

"Turritopsis Dohrnii" is a small, biologically immortal jellyfish. This small jellyfish has a great role in the research of aging. That jellyfish can take back its polyps form. And some insects have the same ability. During that process "Turritopsis Dohrnii" removes things like zombie cells from its body. Removing zombie cells from the body helps slow aging and denies cancer.

" If the T. Dohrnii jellyfish is exposed to environmental stress, physical assault, or is sick or old, it can revert to the polyp stage, forming a new polyp colony It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation, which alters the differentiated state of the cells and transforms them into new types of cells." (Wikipedia/Turritopsis dohrnii)

"Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal, although in practice individuals can still die. In nature, most Turritopsis Dohrnii are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the medusa stage without reverting to the polyp form. (Wikipedia/Turritopsis dohrnii).

The question is, what denies the DNA damage in that jellyfish? Immortality requires that the DNA will not damaged. And taking the polyp form back doesn't fix the DNA in that jellyfish.

There is a process that makes Turritopsis Dohrnii able to keep its DNA in the condition that the jellyfish doesn't age as other animals. Things that normally cause DNA destruction are chemical and radiological stress that makes DNA oscillate, and that means the descendant cells will not get the same DNA as their parent cells. And only just-born human has complete DNA.

The thing is that seawater protects sea animals from radioactive radiation like the sun's UV radiation. The problem is that Turritopsis Dohrnii is not the only animal that lives in seas. Other animals are aging. But the thing that makes this jellyfish interesting is that it's translucent.

That means the structure of that animal doesn't absorb UV radiation more or less than other jellyfish that are mortal. The mechanism that keeps the DNA young is the thing that makes this jellyfish interesting. That mechanism can someday make it possible. That the human DNA will not turn older or be damaged.

The process means that this jellyfish can create new cells. There is always the same DNA. The problem in human aging is that the human DNA is damaging. And if there is something that denies the damages in DNA that thing can open a new chapter in human history. There is a possibility that Turritopsis Dohrnii jellyfish has the DNA that is inside some kind of capsule that denies damage in that molecule. The thing is how this jellyfish denies DNA damage is interesting. And if we want to make humans immortal we must secure the DNA. And deny its damages in all situations.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to form the blue giant or too small it can collapse straight into a black hole . If the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts. The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists model of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

"New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
