DOWNGRADE. "Fusion of immortal cell lines with normal human fibroblasts or certain other immortal cell lines yields hybrids having limited division potential. Cellular immortality was found to be a recessive phenotype in hybrids. It was also found that at least two separate events in the normal cell genome can result in immortality. In fusions involving certain immortal parent cells, these events can be complemented to result in hybrids with finite division capacity." https://lnkd.in/dvCa5Um View in LinkedIn

SIMILAR GENE SETS. "There are numerous examples of genes whose expression during development and regeneration are identical and other genes whose expression is largely similar." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

RANGE OF LONGEVITY. "Some animal species are now firmly documented to live for more than four centuries and even some mammals, like the bowhead whale, appear to survive 200 years or more. Another group of species may not be as absolutely long-lived, but they are remarkably long-lived for their body size and metabolic rate." https://lnkd.in/dKy_BHg View in LinkedIn

ANOTHER URBAN MYTH. "The sea anemone, frequently cited as an example of an organism hundreds of years old, if not immortal, is a colonial animal whose component cells turnover regularly thus making an argument for their immortality, or great longevity, spurious." https://lnkd.in/esfPTAR View in LinkedIn

LOBSTERS ARE NOT IMMORTAL, this is simply not true. Urban myth. https://lnkd.in/dz29spw View in LinkedIn

TRUTH PLUS URBAN MYTH. "Some animals such as lobsters and certain jellyfish do not die of old age." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_extension View in LinkedIn

REGENERATION IN MAN. "Progress in our understanding of the molecular basis of the regenerative response is moving rapidly, and the goal of eventually inducing a regenerative response in humans may lie in the not so distant future." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

RESTORATION DREAMS. "The general conclusion that a reduction in regenerative potential in humans is an example of a lost function can be viewed as a positive indicator for efforts aimed at inducing, or rather restoring, a regenerative response." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

TORNARÍA LARVAE, a video of these other-worldly little creatures that could as easily be from Mars. They are the daily companions of marine biologists like Doc in Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. https://lnkd.in/d-k_UHZ View in LinkedIn
