The Greenland shark is known to be elusive, for years effectively hiding its most astounding traits. The sluggish creatures lurk primarily in the deep, cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, and are the only sharks to withstand the freezing temperatures year-round. Some individuals of the species might have been swimming there since colonial times — and researchers are just beginning to unravel how.

Scientists mapped the genome of a shark that can live 400 years. It could unlock new secrets to longevity

By Taylor Nicioli, CNN Greenland's shark is known to be elusive and to have hidden its most surprising features for years. These slow creatures hide mainly in the deep and cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, and are the only sharks to bear the icy temperatures throughout the year. Some specimens of the species may have been swimming there since colonial times, and researchers are beginning to decipher how. Due to the slow metabo…

By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — “Even though you want to try to, never grow up,” Peter Pan said in the titular novel by J.M. Barrie, echoing a sentiment long expressed by the human race in an effort to cheat death. The quest to unlock the secrets of longevity has been the topic of scientific study for decades. And some of the greatest lessons about living a long life come from nature itself. Take Jonathan the giant tortoise, for instance. It i…

A creature from the deep can live for centuries. Scientists have discovered why

A team of scientists has gained unique insights into the genome of the longest-lived vertebrate — the Greenland shark. Now they are trying to figure out how, with the help of this animal, they could significantly extend, above all, the qualitative life span of a person.

Skupina znanstvenikov je dobila edinstven vpogled v genom najdlje živečega vretenčarja – grenlandskega morskega psa.  Zdaj skušajo ugotoviti, kako bi lahko s pomočjo te živali znatno podaljšali predvsem kakovostno dobo človeškega življenja.

Lahko grenlandski morski pes ponudi ključ do podaljšanja življenjske dobe pri ljudeh?
