The Greenland shark, a slow-moving giant of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, holds the record as the longest-lived ...

Scientists may have just cracked the code to live longer without developing any tumors. A new genomic study has revealed how ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic clues behind the extraordinary lifespan of the Greenland shark, a species that can live ...

Greenland sharks are thought to have lifespans that can reach 400 years. Building upon previous work, University of Tokyo-led ...

Measuring the Greenland shark’s growth rate is challenging because individuals are rarely recaptured. However, one shark tagged in 1936 had only grown 2.3 inches when it reappeared 16 years later.

Yet back then, any one of these creatures could become prey to the ocean's fiercest apex predator: the megalodon, a giant shark with massive teeth and a body the size of a whale. In many ways ...

Previous research has shown that the Greenland shark, which lives in the deep waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, has a lifespan extending to nearly 400 years. It is the largest extant ...

A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity. When this Greenland shark was born, Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa. The species is ...

A genomic study may have revealed how Greenland sharks live for centuries and yet rarely get cancer. These sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) are slow-moving dwellers of the deep that can reach more ...

How Greenland sharks' features protect them from Cancer To reveal the secret of Greenland shark's long and healthy life, a group of researchers performed a comprehensive genomic analysis.

The Greenland shark lives in one of the most extreme environments. Temperatures frequently fall below zero, yet this shark thrives. It’s predicted that this shark could live to 200 years old ...
