This in vitro study evaluated combined effects of extremely low frequency EMF (50 Hz, 20 mT) and nitric oxide (NO) on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report reduced viability and morphology changes with high NO in the presence of EMF, along with increased calcium ion entry. They also report…

This cross-sectional questionnaire study examined stress and mobile phone use in GSM network employees. Stress measures differed across groups defined by phone use duration and conversation length. Speaking on a mobile phone for more than 60 minutes/day was associated with a higher reported risk of headaches even…

This in vitro study evaluated adult murine neural stem cells exposed to GSM 900-MHz radiofrequency emissions from a mobile phone across different exposure durations. The authors report significant decreases in neurosphere number/size and neuronal differentiation with increasing exposure duration. They report no…

This animal study exposed Eisenia fetida earthworms to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields at 10–120 V/m for 2 hours (with additional tests of longer exposure, modulation, and recovery). The authors report significant DNA modifications across exposure treatments and a decrease in probe hybridisation sites persisting after…

This mouse study examined whether 50 Hz, 1 mT electromagnetic field exposure affects working memory and hippocampal electrophysiology. The authors report reduced Y-maze working memory performance after 3 days of EMF exposure, accompanied by decreased hippocampal firing rates. They also report reduced theta and…

This animal study exposed Trichoplusia ni larvae to 60 Hz, 2.0 mT ELF-EMF for 24, 48, or 72 hours and assessed immune parameters and fertility. The abstract reports no effect on life cycle and fertility after 24 hours, but several immune-related measures changed after 48–72 hours, including reduced hemolymph protein…

This in vitro study assessed whether RF-EMF exposure from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone simulator and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router alters bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. The authors report significant changes in inhibition zone diameters and bacterial growth rate after exposure. They also describe an exposure window…

This double-blind randomized controlled study enrolled 61 healthy teenagers and compared 15 minutes of mobile phone exposure with the phone ON at the right ear versus a phone OFF condition. The study reports significant reductions in EPI-measured "subtle energy levels" in the ON group versus OFF across multiple…

This study examined proposed mechanisms of microwave radiation effects using a bacterial culture and a sterile growth medium, focusing on a sensor bioluminescence system. The authors report irradiation-related changes in UV spectral properties (200–350 nm), luminescence, NMR relaxation parameters, bacterial growth,…

This exploratory survey study assessed the association between mobile phone radiation exposure and thyroid function among 83 undergraduate medical students in South India. The authors report a significant correlation between total radiation exposure and higher TSH levels, seen in students both with and without a…

This 2016 narrative review proposes that non-thermal microwave/lower-frequency EMFs act primarily through activation of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), with calcium channel blockers reported to block EMF effects. It summarizes animal, occupational, and epidemiological literature and reports that exposures…

This rat study examined whether pulse-modulated 900 MHz and 1800 MHz RF exposure affects blood-brain barrier permeability using Evans blue dye. The abstract reports increased permeability in male rats at both frequencies (stronger at 1800 MHz) and in female rats at 900 MHz but not at 1800 MHz. The authors suggest…
