- zerobeesThis is a press release from a marine research organization, so the main implication here isn't that they're doing it because it's in any way relevant to humans. They're doing it because it's a cool thing for a marine research organization to research.Yes, it's probably not gonna help humans, unless some of your friends are gelatinous blobs with no circulatory or nervous system and with a lifespan measured in months.
- wxw> The medusa, the free-swimming form most people picture when they hear the term jellyfish, is only one stage of the animal’s life cycle.> We tend to think of the flower—or the jellyfish—as the organism, but these are actually reproductive units.I'll never look at jellyfish the same.
- KurSixWhat I like about this work is that the jellyfish may be less important as a source of some magical "regeneration gene" and more useful as a system where you can actually see the basic mechanics clearly

- karim79At first glance I imagined this was a magic way to heal a wound by rubbing a jellyfish on it. Skin irritation be damned, this is gonna save lives.But no. No such joy.
- dspncTL/DR: be made of jelly
