The apparent state of eternal dormancy has fascinated people for hundreds of years. This project will explore new frontiers in life extension and snail control by defining those genes and peptides involved in snail hypometabolism. To achieve this, the project will interrogate the snails' natural state of hypometabolism called estivation.

数百年来，这种看似永恒的休眠状态一直吸引着人们。本项目将通过确定与蜗牛低代谢有关的基因和肽，探索延长寿命和控制蜗牛的新领域。为了实现这一目标，该项目将研究蜗牛的自然低代谢状态，称为休眠。
