Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Melanin, Biochemistry, Pigment, Tyrosinase and Molecular biology. His studies in Melanin integrate themes in fields like High-performance liquid chromatography, Photochemistry, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Quantitative analysis in his study.

He combines subjects such as Botany, Dermatology, Hydrolysis, Hydrogen peroxide and Neuromelanin with his study of Pigment. His study on Tyrosinase also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cysteine that intertwine with fields like Stereochemistry, Bovine serum albumin and Tyrosine,
  • Ratón and Follicular phase most often made with reference to Coat. His Molecular biology research includes themes of Allele, DNA damage and Epidermis.

His most cited work include:

  • Microanalysis of eumelanin and pheomelanin in hair and melanomas by chemical degradation and liquid chromatography (334 citations)
  • A Chemist's View of Melanogenesis (333 citations)
  • Chemistry of mixed melanogenesis--pivotal roles of dopaquinone. (308 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Shosuke Ito spends much of his time researching Melanin, Biochemistry, Tyrosinase, Melanoma and Internal medicine. Shosuke Ito has researched Melanin in several fields, including Molecular biology, Pigment, Photochemistry and Melanocyte. His research on Biochemistry frequently links to adjacent areas such as Neuromelanin.

Within one scientific family, Shosuke Ito focuses on topics pertaining to Cysteine under Tyrosinase, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Stereochemistry. His Melanoma study incorporates themes from Cell culture, Urine and Pathology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Melanin (38.63%)
  • Biochemistry (24.21%)
  • Tyrosinase (22.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Melanin (38.63%)
  • Tyrosinase (22.98%)
  • Biochemistry (24.21%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Melanin, Tyrosinase, Biochemistry, Pigment and Melanosome. His study in Melanin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tyrosine, Oxidative phosphorylation, Photochemistry, DHICA and Cell biology. The various areas that he examines in his Tyrosinase study include Melanocyte, Glutathione, Cysteine, Cytotoxicity and Quinone.

His Melanocyte study incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Epidermis. His study in the field of Metabolite is also linked to topics like Ascorbic acid. Shosuke Ito has researched Pigment in several fields, including Zoology, Genetics, Biophysics and Botany.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Melanins and melanogenesis: methods, standards, protocols (227 citations)
  • Melanins and melanogenesis: from pigment cells to human health and technological applications (178 citations)
  • Direct chemical evidence for eumelanin pigment from the Jurassic period. (120 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Melanin, Biochemistry, Tyrosinase, Photochemistry and Botany are his primary areas of study. His work on Melanosome as part of general Melanin study is frequently linked to Egg masses, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Biochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Neuromelanin, Locus coeruleus and Human skin.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Metabolite, Cysteine, Quinone and Melanocyte. His Photochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Singlet oxygen, DHICA, Hydrogen peroxide and Absorption spectroscopy. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Gastropoda, Pigment and Reflectivity.
