Have you ever been curious to know how the deep sea creatures thrive to the extreme pressure in the ocean? The survival of deep-sea creatures in such extreme conditions is a testament to their ...

A multi-institutional team that includes researchers from the University of Delaware, University of California San Diego and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), among others, published a ...

Three-quarters of the lipids in the deep-sea comb jellies were plasmalogens, a type of curved lipid that is rarer in surface animals. In the pressure of the deep sea, the curvy molecule conforms ...

“For some deep-sea ctenophores, their cell membranes are literally held together by pressure,” Jacob Winnikoff, a deep-sea biochemist at Harvard University and the study’s lead ...

What was not known was how those living in the deep sea have adapted to intense pressure or if the adaptations for cold were the same as pressure. [Related: Classifying invertebrates is hard.

So if you have a lipid that looks like a traffic cone, at huge pressure it will look like a coke can,” Budin said. Jacob Winnikoff is a deep sea biochemist at Harvard who partnered with Budin on ...

Three-quarters of the lipids in the deep-sea comb jellies were plasmalogens, a type of curved lipid that is rarer in surface animals. In the pressure of the deep sea, the curvy molecule conforms to ...

For a moment, they continued falling to the sea floor in complete darkness. Then, the creatures of the deep sea began dazzling ... to function better at high pressure, as the ocean pressure ...

The article explores how deep-sea creatures adapt to extreme ocean pressures through unique evolutionary traits like flexible cell membranes, gelatinous bodies, and high TMAO levels. These ...
