Dr. Yi Liu is a distinguished researcher in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Technology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Her work focuses on the epigenetic regulation of germ cells, exploring mechanisms that govern their development, preservation, and potential for regeneration. Germ cells are essential for reproduction, giving rise to sperm and eggs and ensuring the transmission of genetic material across generations. In her 2024 publication, "Epigenetic Regulation of Germ Cells: Mechanisms, Preservation and Regenerative Strategies," These processes are vital for proper gene activation or silencing during gametogenesis, the development of germ cells into mature gametes.Dr. Liu's research also addresses the preservation of germ cells, emphasizing the importance of maintaining epigenetic stability during processes like cryopreservation. She explores how freezing and thawing can induce epigenetic changes that may affect the developmental potential of germ cells. Additionally, her work delves into regenerative strategies, including reprogramming somatic cells into germ cells using specific transcription factors or epigenetic modifiers.
