Summary
Wenqing Zhou won the 2018 DMM Prize for her research on neutrophil motility in zebrafish. Her study identified a key role for mitochondria in regulating this essential immune cell function.
Area of Science:
- Mitochondrial biology
- Zebrafish disease models
- Immunology
Background:
- Neutrophil motility is crucial for effective immune responses.
- Mitochondria are known to play roles in cellular energy and apoptosis.
- The specific function of mitochondria in neutrophil migration remains underexplored.

Competition
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.Intraspecific competition, which occurs between individuals of the same species, serves as a natural mechanism for regulating population size. Too much...
Electrolysis
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...
