Are we here to wish that we could invent a fountain of youth based on this animal?
I'm close to my 30's so, yeah, It would be nice. :D
I am NaN!

Me too, but I'd be more interested in the medical applications this could have, like regenerating organs for people who need it. I suppose it would be similar to a stem cell method, in which the stem cells transform into a cell that is close to them (shallow explanation on my part, of course).

People who have lost organs to disease like hepatitis, damage to kidneys, pancreas destruction, heart damage over repeated strokes...

It could lead to a revolution in medical science for us all.

Honestly, I would like to live for a long time, yes, but a more immediate and grounded application, could be that.
