The role of regeneration processes and their impact on aging have been studied in recent years for their potential applications in the development of more efficient pharmacology to address disorders related to aging. Reviewing the terms related to transdifferentiation in jellyfish and understanding the underlying mechanisms can help comprehend diverse processes such as aging, regeneration, and the molecular bases of diseases like cancer.
