This study reports the identification of an electromagnetic perceptive gene (EPG) from glass catfish and its expression in mammalian cells, neuronal cultures, and rat brain. The authors report that magnetic/EMF stimulation remotely increased intracellular calcium in EPG-expressing cells and neurons. They also report…

This exposure assessment study reports extensive EMF measurements and exposure mapping across multiple workplace settings in Greece in the context of implementing EU Directive 2013/35/EU. The authors report that most assessed workplaces did not exceed occupational limits, and often did not exceed general public…

This in vitro study tested whether extremely low frequency/low frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure modifies ischemia-reperfusion injury in human cardiac-related cell types. Using LDH and MMP-2 activities and fluorescein diacetate staining, the authors report that short courses of LF-EMF reduced cellular…

This in vitro study exposed human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to extremely low frequency EMF (7.5–70 Hz, 1 mT) generated by Helmholtz coils. The authors report increased MSC migration across all tested frequencies. Mechanistically, the effect is described as dependent on intracellular calcium and…

This study measured RF electric field intensities at 900 and 1800 MHz at 29 points on the Istanbul Technical University campus and produced spatial EMF intensity heat maps using GIS interpolation. Three interpolation methods were compared and the mapped measurements were evaluated against ICNIRP reference limits. All…

This in vitro study exposed SH-SY5Y cells to a 50 Hz, 0.50 mT electromagnetic field under intermittent or continuous conditions, alongside β-lapachone and/or morphine. The authors report condition-dependent changes in antioxidant gene expression, including decreased NQO1 and increased NQO2 under intermittent EMF…

This in vitro study examined whether 50 Hz, 2 mT extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields affect ATRA-driven granulocytic differentiation in NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells. The authors report reduced proliferation and enhanced maturation/differentiation markers with ELF-EMF exposure. They also report…

This laboratory study tested whether brief ELF-EMF seed pretreatment could enhance cadmium accumulation in white mustard seedlings. Seeds exposed to 50 Hz alternating EMF (60 or 120 mT) for 1 minute produced shoots with higher cadmium content than controls, while biomass was unchanged. The authors suggest potential…

This paper presents a theoretical model analyzing parameters that may optimize metal nanoparticle-aided EMF photothermal therapy effects on cancer cells. The model suggests efficacy depends on both electric field enhancement and thermal (hyperthermia) contributions, influenced by nanoparticle absorption properties…

This double-blind, randomized, counterbalanced study tested whether acute GSM-like 920 MHz RF-EMF exposure affects visual event-related potentials in 36 healthy adults. Compared with sham, exposure was associated with reduced P1 amplitude and increased anterior N1 latency, with no effects on other ERP measures. The…

This exposure assessment quantified RF-EMF levels using portable, high-sampling-rate devices across 94 outdoor microenvironments and 18 public transport vehicles in six countries. Mean outdoor exposure ranged from 0.23 to 1.85 V/m, and public transport exposure ranged from 0.32 to 0.86 V/m. Exposure varied…

This in vitro study exposed cancer (U87-MG; 143B) and noncancerous (BJ; HEK) cells to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields under varying frequencies (2–60 Hz), waveforms, and exposure durations, with sham controls. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. The authors report that cancer and…

This in vitro study exposed MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells to a 50 Hz, 0.50 mT electromagnetic field in combination with cisplatin and/or morphine. The combined "CDDP+Mor+EMF" condition showed higher cisplatin IC values than cisplatin alone and "CDDP+Mor" in both cell lines, consistent with reduced cisplatin cytotoxicity.…

This article presents a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis on radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from electronic devices and effects on the fertility system. The authors cite growing public concern and conflicting findings in prior studies as motivation. The protocol plans broad database…

This in vitro study used a scratch wound model in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) to examine effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF). ELF-EMF exposure was reported to accelerate wound closure compared with sham and to increase inflammatory cytokine expression/release. The authors…
