    Dr. Than's major areas of research interest include mitochondria biogensis, stress response and mitophagy in liver patho-physiology and developmental biology, and regulation of gene expression by reactive oxygen species and derivative DNA adducts in liver patho-physiology and developmental biology. His current research entails mitochondrial retrograde signaling and stress response, and mitochondrial biogenesis in liver diseases.

    Dr. Than earned his medical degree from University of Yangon, Institute of Medicine. He then went on to earn his PhD in Free Radical Biology & Molecular Biology from Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
