The visual system of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark - Nature Communications
The Greenland shark, the longest-living vertebrate, inhabits the dim, frigid depths of the Arctic Ocean. Despite its extreme lifespan, this study finds that its vision remains intact and well-adapted ...

Very happy to have been invited by @liberation.fr to comment on a new study showing that the Greenland shark is not blind. 🦈🔬
Très heureux d’avoir été convié par Libération à commenter la nouvelle étude montrant que le requin du Groenland n’est pas aveugle.

Selon une étude de référence, le requin du Groenland peut vivre plus de 250 ans, peut-être même jusqu'à 400 ans. Et finalement, non, il n'est pas aveugle : son système visuel semble conçu pour durer des siècles.
Non, le requin du Groenland n’est pas aveugle, il pourrait même nous aider à guérir nos maladies oculaires
L’étude des infatigables yeux de ce poisson géant pourrait s’avérer utile pour lutter contre certaines maladies humaines comme le glaucome et la dégénérescence maculaire.

#FishyFriday the Greenland sharks (Somniosus Microcephalus) can live up to 500 years thanks to a very slow metabolism and the cold Arctic ocean they inhabit! 🦈❄️🌊

🦈 #shark the #lanternshark having different upper and lower teeth is not unique, it's just a really good example. For comparison, here are the upper and lower teeth of a #Greenlandshark. Again, upper teeth hold prey lower teeth cut.

Greenland sharks live for centuries—but how? 🦈 Their eyes show signs of DNA repair and minimal aging, while their hearts endure damage yet keep working. A wild mix of repair and resilience. #Longevity #GreenlandShark scientificinquirer.com/2026/01/29/d...

🦈 A shark that may live 500 years is rewriting what scientists think aging can do. Its genome shows how repair beats damage over decades.
