This in vitro study tested ELF-EMF exposure in U87 and U251 glioblastoma cell lines and assessed apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, cell size, and mRNA expression of cell-cycle genes. The authors report higher apoptosis induction and increased G2/M arrest in U87 compared with U251, alongside increased U87 cell size…

This in vitro study tested whether a 50 Hz, 20 mT extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) enhances the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with low-dose DOX reduced cell viability at lower DOX concentrations than DOX…

This paper describes a literature-mining analysis of more than 30,000 EMF-related publications to extract genes, diseases, and molecular mechanisms linked to EMF exposure across six EMF subsets. The authors report identifying 3,653 unique disease MeSH terms and 9,966 unique genes, including 4,340 human genes. The…

This in vitro study compared continuous versus intermittent 16 Hz ELF-PEMF exposure strategies in osteoprogenitor (SCP-1) cells. Intermittent exposure (10 min every 8 h) was reported to enhance cell numbers and osteogenic function relative to continuous daily exposure (30 min every 24 h). The authors report increased…

This paper reports a PubMed and Google Scholar-based review of EMF research related to brain pathology, with emphasis on ischemic and traumatic brain injury. It provides a critical overview of the state of the art and describes the authors’ experimental and ongoing studies. The authors conclude that EMF applications…

This study describes a magnetofection system using electromagnetic field (EMF) co-stimulation with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) to deliver miR-21. The authors report increased transfection efficiency and promotion of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in BMSCs and HUVECs, with downstream application to…

This review discusses low-energy amplitude-modulated RF EMF (27.12 MHz carrier with low Hz–kHz envelope modulation) delivered systemically via intrabuccal antenna devices as a potential treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. It reports preclinical inhibition of cancer growth in vitro and in mouse xenograft…

This in vitro study developed magnetic electrospun nanofibers for bone regeneration and evaluated osteogenic and antibacterial properties. Functionalization with ATP and Mg increased mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic marker readouts compared with unmodified fibers. The authors report that…

This review discusses longstanding EMF theories of mind/brain integration as a potential explanation for unified conscious experience and aspects of the "hard problem" of consciousness. It notes that EMFs are measurable and that correlates have been reported with changes in consciousness, sensory perception, and…

This in vitro study examined whether a 2 GHz RF-EMF exposure could enhance enzyme production in a filamentous fungus. A 10-minute exposure was reported to increase extracellular total protein and α-amylase activity in culture media versus controls, alongside increased α-amylase mRNA and changes consistent with…

This study reports a noninvasive pulsed-burst electromagnetic field (PEMF) approach intended to protect against radiotherapy-induced bone loss. A 15 Hz, 2 mT PEMF waveform is described as producing distinctive calcium oscillations in osteoblasts and inhibiting radiation-related bone loss while not affecting other…

This in vitro study examined whether a low-frequency EMF (30 mT, 7 Hz for 3 h) alters phagocytosis of latex beads and immune-related protein/gene expression in the human Mono Mac 6 macrophage cell line. The authors report that EMF exposure influenced phagocytosis-associated molecular markers, with notable changes in…

This in vitro study examined how low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMF) at different magnetic flux densities influence skeletal myogenesis in C2C12 cells. The authors report that 2.0 mT LF-EMF activated cells and increased PAX7, while 1.5 mT increased MyoD and myogenin expression. They conclude that different…

This in vitro study evaluated short-term extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), alone and combined, for antibacterial effects and apoptosis induction in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report time-dependent reductions in bacterial viable counts, with…

This in vitro study tested continuous or pulsed ELF electromagnetic field exposure in human cancer cells treated with the anticancer agent 3-bromopyruvate (3BP). The authors report that ELF-EMF enhanced 3BP anti-cancer activity, which they link to reduced TNFα secretion, p21/p27-associated G2/M arrest, and cancer…

This materials proof-of-concept study explored using radiofrequency EMF to heat magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in PLLA to modulate polymer properties. Heating was monitored by infrared camera, and polymer changes were assessed by differential scanning calorimetry and nanoindentation. The authors report that EMF…
