This study examined whether exposing maize seeds to electromagnetic fields (23, 70, 118 μT) for 15 days alters physicochemical properties of starch isolated from the resulting grains. SEM and X-ray diffraction results suggest starch morphology and orthorhombic crystalline structure were largely unchanged, though…

This article is a comment on a previously published correlation study assessing whether RF-EMF exposure relates to survey-based health indicators such as sleep, headache, and fatigue. The authors state they performed a detailed analysis of the original study and offer clarifications. The abstract does not provide the…

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 in vitro study tested an ELF-EMF at a calculated thermal resonant frequency in 2D and 3D culture models of human pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, and breast cancer. The authors report reduced cell growth and a metabolic shift, including potentiation of coupled and uncoupled respiration and altered transcription…

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 exposed human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem progenitor cells to an alternating EMF generated by the IteraCoil device at 0.05 and 1 kHz. The authors report that EMF exposure was associated with osteoblastic differentiation in the absence of exogenous pro-osteogenic supplements, assessed by…

This plant study evaluated whether short pre-sowing treatments with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field alter sweetener-related metabolites in stevia leaves. The authors report modest improvements in germination and a strong stimulation of steviol glycoside accumulation, with a larger increase in stevioside than…

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 paper reports a survey designed to prioritize which RF EMF-related health outcomes should be addressed in systematic reviews. Of 300 experts queried, 164 responded and rated cancer, heat-related effects, adverse birth/pregnancy outcomes, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, cognitive impairment, and oxidative…

This cross-sectional survey in five French cities assessed whether measured RF-EMF exposure from mobile-phone base stations was associated with self-reported non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms among residents living within 250 m of a base station. Overall, measured base-station exposure was not associated with…

This double-blind randomized sham-controlled repeated-measures study examined short-term 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (28 μT) to the chest and its effects on HR and HRV in 34 healthy young men. HR deceleration occurred in both EMF and sham conditions, but several HRV indices (SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF) increased only in the EMF…

This animal study compared 50 Hz extremely low-frequency EMF exposure with doxorubicin (and their combination) in Walker-256 carcinosarcoma-bearing rats, assessing tumor growth and liver redox-related outcomes. DOX and DOX+EMF were reported to inhibit tumor growth more than EMF alone, though EMF alone also showed an…

This paper presents a 3D GIS approach to model magnetic fields from overhead high-voltage power lines while accounting for terrain relief and cable catenary. The model was validated against extensive field measurements in two complex urban environments and showed good agreement with measured values, though accuracy…

This cross-sectional online survey examined whether paranoid ideation is associated with modern health worries and idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF). Paranoid ideation was positively associated with modern health worries and with IEI-EMF status, even after controlling…
