Jellyfish Age Backwards

Humanity has always been obsessed with the concept of immortality and the secrets to longevity have largely remained a mystery – until scientists begun looking to nature for answers. Molecular biologist Nicklas Brendborg takes us on a journey from farthest reaches of the globe to the most cutting-edge research as he explores what nature has to teach us about aging. We meet jellyfish who display reverse aging; the Greenland shark who is older than America; naked mole-rats and lobsters who are virtually ageless; redwoods that survive thousands of years; and in the soil of Easter Island, the key to eternal youth.
