Here’s
something… two injured comb jellies have been seen to merge
into one individual.
It’s been
established that comb jellies do have
an immune system, so what’s going on here. Clearly there is some mechanism
in which the recognition of “non-self” is modified.
Could this
have relevance to humans? Could this trick be used to increase the success rate
of organ and bone marrow transplant? Will this herald a whole new era of lab
tests for us to be doing?
