Circa 2020 The axolotl’s ability to regenerate limbs has now be localized by researchers. This can lead to an end of illness and aging aswell.
A novel CRISPR-based genetic screen of candidate regeneration genes in haploid axolotl limbs reveals two genes required for proper regeneration.
Summary: Brief exposure to Rapamycin, a promising anti-aging drug that has positive effects on health and lifespan, has the same effect as long-term exposure to the drug in animal models. The findings pave the way for testing the effects of short-term rapamycin exposure on the lifespan of humans.

Imagine you could take a medicine that prevents the decline that come with age and keeps you healthy. Scientists are trying to find a drug that has these effects.
The T. dohrnii can turn itself from a full-grown jellyfish all the way back to its juvenile stage as a polyp on the seafloor.
