"Our work not only successfully deciphers the mystery of ultra-long starvation tolerance in deep-sea isopods, but also provides an important paradigm for understanding how life balances growth and survival in extreme environments," said Yuan Jianbo, first author of the study and a research fellow at the Institute of Oceanology.
The findings may also provide insights for research on longevity, obesity treatment, and aquaculture breeding, he added.
