Medicine, and a postdoctoral in neurobiology from Stanford University Sch. Medicine. He is recipient of research scientist of the Year by CSURF in 2001 and a National Research Career Development Award.

Douglas Ishii interested in the neurobiology of the neurotrophic insulin-like growth factor (IGF) hormones, as well as their capacity to treat various neurological diseases and disorders. This laboratory discovered that IGFs are circulating neurotrophic factors. The highest levels of IGF-II gene expression are in brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and its expression in perinatal muscle correlates closely with synaptogenesis in rats. Neurite (axon or dendrite) outgrowth and the survival of neurons in culture are supported by IGFs. Following nerve crush, infusion of IGFs increase, whereas anti-IGF antibodies decrease the rate of sciatic nerve regeneration in rats. IGF-I mRNAs are increased all along the nerve distal to crush, whereas IGF-II mRNAs are increased mostly at the end of nerves and in denervated muscle. Disconnection of nerves from muscle results in motoneuron death in neonatal rats. Such motoneuron death is prevented by IGF-II, whereas exacerbated by anti-IGF antibodies. Others have shown that transgenic mice over-expressing IGF-I have brains 55% larger than normal.

The discovery of a biochemical process, that from a molecule that exists on the skin, hair and coating the human retina but can be produced artificially, (melanin or polihidroxiindol), is capable of breaking the molecule water, separating the hydrogen and oxygen and extracting energy from this process. The raw material of this invention is abundant in nature, as its core components are water and a molecule that exists in the skin, hair and the lining of the human retina, but that can be produced artificially: melanin or polihidroxiindol.

Professor Kaj Winther was earlier deeply involved in cardiovascular research and medicine with special reference to thrombosis and haemostasis and worked for a period at the Harvard Medical School, Boston, on the topic “Circadian variation in Myocardial Infraction”. Later in his career he more and more focused on development and clinical testing of herbal remedies and different versions of new foods. His interest in food and herbal remedies is also based on the fact that much prescription medicine including the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID`s) are blamed for serious side effects. As many of our top athletes and more and more of the average population trying to get into a “better shape” is abusing NSAID`s, more attention should be drawn to develop new “pain-killers” without serious side effects. Here some food supplements, herbal remedies and some new foods, might be interesting to future develop – replies Kaj Winther.
