An Initial Study of the Cellular Biochemistry of Aging in the Long-Lived Greenland Shark (opens in new tab)

Greenland sharks can live for at least a few centuries, and are thus of interest in the study of the comparative biology of aging. Here, researchers take a first step in examining the cellular biochemistry of aging in this species. As a rule, aquatic species are less well investigated in this regard than is the case for land animals, and most land animals are less well investigated than mammals. One never knows what might be discovered, of course, though it remains the case that efforts to br...
