Snails With Spiral Shells. And the twist in this story comes at the beginning — when snail embryos are just single cells. A snail’s slimy organs and parts follow suit, developing with a twist that echoes the asymmetrical shell — a fact that inspired a team of. The typical snail has a calcareous shell coiled in a spiral pattern around a central axis called the columella. Researchers have discovered how certain biological structures—like terrestrial and marine snail shells—can have spirals that go both clockwise and counterclockwise, not only within the same. A genetic spin doctor sets snail shells to swirl clockwise, new research confirms. The shell is the snail’s primary line of defense, a hard and often spiral structure made of calcium carbonate that they can completely retract into. This barrier affords them protection from physical attacks and environmental hazards. Bundles of chromosomes in snail embryos (red arrows in top panels) and cell boundaries (white arrows in middle panels) start twisting early in development for snails. When snails sense danger around them, they hide into their shells.
