Summary

Aging may not be a fixed biological law. This episode explores negligible senescence—species that show little or no age-related decline.

From the cellular reset mechanisms of the Immortal jellyfish and the stem-cell renewal of Hydra to the longevity strategies of the Naked mole-rat and Ocean quahog, we examine how DNA repair and protein maintenance can slow—or bypass—biological decay.

These organisms suggest that aging is a modifiable process, not an inevitability.
