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. This episode includes AI-generated content.","meta_description":"Aging may not be a fixed biological law.
