Researchers studying Psolus fabricii, a sea cucumber native to the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, found that amputated tissue from the creature remains alive for years, repairing wounds and continuing to grow despite being severed from the organism. The tissue exhibits biological processes including immune function, cell division, and nutrient absorption, leading scientists to declare it biologically immortal, though experts note further research on telomere length is needed to confirm true immortality.
