This narrative review discusses reported effects of EMF, including low-frequency EMF (LF-EMF), on cell behaviors relevant to wound healing and on recovery processes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It summarizes literature suggesting EMF can promote migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and…

This pilot animal study examined ELF-EMF exposure (0.1 or 1.0 mT, 1 h/day up to 5 weeks) in sedentary adult male C57BL/6 mice, with or without N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) supplementation. The authors report a transient increase in muscle strength after 2 weeks at 1.0 mT, accompanied by higher PAX7 and myosin heavy chain…

This rat study used a head-only 900 MHz GSM exposure system to assess brain activity changes via c-Fos imaging and to test spatial memory performance. Acute exposure (2 h) was associated with dose-dependent, region-specific increases in c-Fos expression, while repeated pre-training exposures were associated with…

This study compared historical occupational RF-EMF exposure estimates from the INTEROCC RF job-exposure matrix (RF-JEM) with recent personal RF-EMF measurements from the OccRF-Health study in two countries. Agreement between the two approaches was poor for both exposure prevalence and 8-hour time-weighted average…

This engineering study presents RTEEMF-PhoneAnts, a convolutional neural network framework to predict mobile phone antenna metrics (EIRP, TRP, and SAR) from near-field EMF distributions. Using a dataset of 7000 mobile phone models, the authors report statistical validation for predicted SAR/TRP and a validation…

This case study measured magnetic flux density and RF-EMF on electric buses on two routes in Samsun, Turkey, across different driving conditions and times of day. It reports route- and condition-dependent variability in magnetic fields, with braking associated with higher readings on one route, and lower overall…

This study examined prokaryotic DNA methylation (6mA and 4mC) and transcriptomes under different intensities of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure. It reports motif-specific 6mA at 5'-GTACAG-3' and ELF-EMF-intensity-associated changes in spatial relationships among other 6mA sites,…

This qualitative exploratory study examined affective reactions and perceived RF-EMF exposure in everyday mobile phone and base-station situations in the context of the 5G rollout in Germany. Participants expressed more negative associations with base stations than with mobile phones, though RF-EMF exposure was only…

This study measured RF electric field exposure around BTS antennas in Sabzevar, Iran across multiple times and distances, and assessed residents' sleep quality. E-field levels varied by time, distance, and suburban versus downtown location, while microenvironment differences were not significant. Sleep quality…

This paper describes the design, calibration, and experimental validation of a low-cost tri-axial sensor for monitoring 50 Hz magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines. The sensor was calibrated on-board and in-lab against a narrowband EHP-50 benchmark and then verified in situ at two locations, with reported…

This paper presents a thermodynamic model intended to explain how extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) may interact with cells. The authors propose that ELF-EMFs directly interfere with the cellular membrane, producing biological responses linked to energy conversion and changes in flows across…

This experimental study tested whether a bilaterally applied temporal-lobe electromagnetic field modeled from physiological data could increase flow-related measures during a Snake video game task. In 39 adults, EMF-active trials were associated with decreased beta 1 (12–16 Hz) activity in several left-hemisphere…

This study evaluated whether seed treatment with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field can alter antioxidant capacity in Norway spruce seedlings across ten half-sib families. The abstract reports that responses varied substantially by genetic family and seedling age, with some families showing increased antioxidant…

This engineering/simulation study proposes a bone-inclusive ASTM phantom to improve assessment of RF power deposition near orthopaedic implants during 1.5 T and 3 T MRI. Using numerical simulations across multiple implant families, the authors report better correlation of peak 1 g SAR near implants with anatomically…

This engineering study describes and simulates a helmet radio-frequency phased array applicator for Thermal Magnetic Resonance (ThermalMR), which combines MRI with targeted RF heating. Using EMF and temperature simulations in a phantom and human head model (including a modeled glioblastoma tumor volume), the authors…

This systematic review assessed interventional preclinical and clinical studies of adjunctive non-ionizing magnetic or combined EMF therapies in dental implant surgery. Twelve studies were included, with most reporting improvements in implant stability and indicators of osteogenesis/osseointegration. Evidence for…
