This animal study reports that exposing worker oriental hornets in an artificial breeding box to an additional 50 Hz magnetic field (50–70 mGauss) altered comb construction compared with controls under only the terrestrial magnetic field. The abstract describes fewer cells and eggs, more deformed cell geometry, and…

This in vitro study measured biophoton/chemiluminescence emission from MDCK cells after inducing reactive oxygen species with hydrogen peroxide. The authors report that photon emission increased with hydrogen peroxide dose and that photomultiplier tube measurements agreed with fluorescence microscopy observations.…

This laboratory study examined whether a weak alternating magnetic field tuned to the cyclotron frequency of Ca2+ and K+ ions influences fusion of tobacco and soya protoplasts. The abstract reports a 2–3× increase in protoplast fusion frequency under exposure. It also reports involvement of calcium ions in induction…
