This in vitro study reports that a static magnetic field (SMF) combined with paramagnetic calcium-polypyrrole nanoparticles (Ca-PPy) markedly increases bactericidal activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The authors attribute the enhanced killing to increased reactive oxygen species generation and associated…

This mini-review discusses the radical pair mechanism as a plausible biophysical route by which external magnetic fields could influence biochemical processes in living systems. It is intended as a primer for magneto-oncology researchers to assess whether observed magnetic-field-related biomedical effects may be…

This experimental study investigated whether non-ionizing EMF exposure affects honey bees and honey yield. Colonies were randomized into five experimental/control groups, with experimental hives exposed to 2.4 GHz (Wi‑Fi band) and 50 Hz (high-voltage line) fields and controls placed far from EMR sources. The study…

This animal study examined whether EMF from a 90 kHz magnetic-coupling resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) system affects mouse cognition and hippocampal neuronal excitability. Mice were exposed for 2, 4, or 8 weeks and assessed with a Novel Object Recognition test and dentate gyrus patch-clamp recordings. The…

This in vitro study tested whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, 20 mT) enhance docetaxel effects in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with docetaxel produced a similar reduction in cell viability at a lower docetaxel concentration than docetaxel alone,…

This animal study tested repeated 50 Hz, 5 mT ELF-EMF exposure in rats with and without PTZ-induced epilepsy. The authors report changes in learning/short-term memory in the EMF+PTZ group versus PTZ alone and increased analgesia latency in EMF-exposed groups. PTZ increased oxidative stress (TOS) in brain regions, and…

This study compares PBMC cryopreservation using an electromagnetic field (EMF) freezer versus standard slow-freezing (SLF). It reports equivalent viable cell number, viability, and cell activity between methods. EMF freezing required substantially less time (0.25 h vs 3 h), which may improve operational efficiency by…

This study reports a measurement-based assessment of outdoor downlink RF-EMF exposure in a French city using drive testing, spot measurements, and a streetlamp-mounted sensor network. The authors report good agreement across methods and correlations between smoothed drive-test data, spot measurements, and base…

This online survey experiment tested whether risk-communication strategies affect public acceptance of 5G base stations amid health-related EMF concerns in China. Government and industry sources increased support more than civil society sources, and gain-framed messages increased acceptance more than loss-framed…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) polarity and directional migration at wound edges. EMF-treated cells showed increased asymmetric redistribution of the polarity marker β-COP and altered γ-tubulin localization at wound margins. The…

This in vitro study exposed DU-145 prostate cancer cells to extremely low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF P-EMF) at different intensities and times. The authors report increased cell mortality and apoptosis with higher intensity (22.6–35 mT) and longer exposure. They also report gene-expression changes…

This study reports that glioblastoma-specific amplitude-modulated 27.12 MHz RF electromagnetic fields (delivered intrabuccally) inhibited proliferation in several glioblastoma cell lines exposed 3 hours/day at patient-matched levels. The authors propose a mechanism involving CACNA1H and modulation of the “Mitotic…
