Jellyfish Can Heal Wounds in Minutes. Scientists Want Their Secrets. | Marine Biological Laboratory
- A decade ago this summer, at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Jocelyn Malamy watched jellyfish cells “walk” toward each other to close a wound for the first time.
- An associate professor in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago, Malamy had received transparent, dime-sized medusae of the species Clytia hemisphaerica from Evelyn Houliston’s lab at the Marine Observatoire in Villefranche.
- The medusa, the free-swimming form most people picture when they hear the term jellyfish, is only one stage of the animal’s life cycle.
