But now they do. Through much observation and also DNA sequencing, they were able to confirm that this is a nudibranch.

It's so good for us. That's the end of the story. That's the end of the story. We can wrap this up right here. But it's good for us in ways we're uncovering even yet. Like, it's good for our brain, our immune system, our bones and muscles, but also our nervous system.

They created a mini muscle factory. They took a petri dish and they popped in some muscle fibers from mice, grew them, and generated this small sheet of tissue about the size of a quarter.
