Interesting. I'm a little skeptic however. Have the cycles of grow/rejuvenation in Turritopsis nutricula being studied over a long time? Do they really go on forever?
Even bacteria like E. coli, which divide without apparent morphological changes between generations, which were previously considered to be 'immortal', have been found to age, with the cells inheriting the old poles being now considered as 'mother cells', while those with new poles are 'daughter cells'.
