    Br J Dermatol 156:1214-23. 2007
    ..Although considerable knowledge about acute pigmentation has recently been accumulated, little is yet known about the mechanisms underlying chronic- and delayed-type hyperpigmentation, such as solar lentigo...

    Rikako Furuya
    Shiseido Research Center, Fukuura, Kanazawa Ku, Yokohama 236 8643, Japan
    J Dermatol Sci 55:99-107. 2009
    ..Repeated exposures to ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) induce pigmented spots on dorsal skin of (HR-1 x HR/De) F(1) hairless mouse. We showed previously that this mouse is suitable for studies of melanocyte function...

    Shunsuke Iriyama
    Shiseido Research Center, 2 2 1 Hayabuchi, Tsuzuki ku, Yokohama 224 8558, Japan
    J Dermatol Sci 64:223-8. 2011
    ..However, it is not clear whether heparanase-induced loss of heparan sulfate at the DEJ is involved in the pigmentation process in sun-exposed skin...
  5. ncbi Expressions of rod and cone photoreceptor-like proteins in human epidermis
    Moe Tsutsumi
    Shiseido Research Center, Fukuura, Kanazawa Ku, Yokohama, Japan
    Exp Dermatol 18:567-70. 2009
    ..PCR analysis confirmed the expression of rhodopsin-like and opsin-like genes in human retina and the skin. These results suggest that a series of proteins, which play a crucial role in visual perception, are expressed in human epidermis...
