I'm trying to find a scientific journal describing this creature, because we all know you can't really trust news sources on scientific findings. they tend to blow things out of proportion. But if this creature can truly revert its mature cells back into immature larval cells, that's pretty incredible. I'm going to keep looking for more info
EDIT: I just found the paper that led to these articles. I just skimmed it and it seems legit enough. I'm going to have to print it out and give it a good read

Hate to say it but I beat you to this. Look up cheating death. Sorry, but it is an amazing thing and if we can find a way to use it to our advantage, WOW.
