🔬 Research Spotlight
Congratulations to Dr. Kurt Warnhoff, Jennifer Snoozy, Dr. Sushila Bhattacharya, Brandon Johnson, PhD student Robin Fettig, and former SPUR students Ashley Van Asma and Chloe Brede on their new PLOS Biology publication!

Their study in C. elegans shows that blocking the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) causes crystal buildup in the intestine—similar to what happens in people with XDH deficiency. This discovery helps researchers better understand how these conditions form.
