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

 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.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers.

The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
