Scientists developed a stem cell map to figure out Hydras’ regenerative abilities.
Hydra doesn't seem to age, with an apparently indefinite lifespan until it’s killed.
Sequenced the messenger RNA transcripts of 25,000 individual hydra cells.
Developed a complete map of the stem cell developmental lineages.
Then identified the genes that may be controlling this "decision-making process.
Potential to uncover some new healing treatments in the future.
