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 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 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 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 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 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 in vitro study exposed primary cultured astrocytes, microglia, and cortical neurons to 1800 MHz RF-EMF at 4.0 W/kg SAR to assess DNA damage and cellular functions. The authors report no significant induction of γH2AX foci and no significant changes in cytokine secretion or dendrite/synapse morphological…

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…

This experimental rabbit study evaluated retinal effects of GSM cell phone simulator microwave irradiation at different distances and durations. ERG outcomes 7 days after exposure showed no statistically significant differences between groups, although irradiated eyes showed non-significant trends toward greater…

This study reports synthesizing hydroxyapatite and carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite using ultrasound and microwave radiation as processing methods. The authors report that these physical factors produced calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite and B-type carbonated apatite and increased in vitro bioactivity compared…
