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 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…

This engineering study describes synthesis of nano-metal binary oxide catalysts using complexation and impregnation with ultrasonic intervention for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of toluene under microwave radiation. The La-Co catalyst prepared with ultrasonic intervention is reported to have the best…

This plant study examined whether 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave exposure affects electric signaling in Nicotiana benthamiana after leaf burning. The authors report a significant reduction in the amplitude of the injury-evoked variation potential, mainly due to a reduced depolarization rate. The reported effect…

This in vitro study exposed human fetal and adult fibroblasts to 25 GHz microwave radiation and assessed multiple genotoxic and cellular endpoints. The authors report no evidence of direct DNA damage and no apoptosis or changes in prosurvival signalling proteins. However, they report increased total and…

This engineering/materials study tested how microwave heating power affects properties of ZnO nanoparticles produced by microwave solvothermal synthesis. Aggregate size reportedly varied (60–120 nm) with microwave power, while individual nanoparticle size and morphology remained constant (average 27 ± 3 nm) under the…

This paper reports the isolation of strain M26 from garden soil that was pre-treated with microwave radiation, followed by polyphasic taxonomic characterization. Based on morphological, chemotaxonomic, and 16S rRNA phylogenetic analyses, the authors propose the new species Streptosporangium minutum. The strain is…

This in vitro study describes microwave-assisted, green-chemistry synthesis of pH-sensitive chitosan beads crosslinked with a glutamic acid/1,5-pentanodiol mixture and optionally modified with Tilia platyphyllos extract. The beads were characterized (FT-IR, SEM), tested for swelling, pH sensitivity, antioxidant…

This experimental study examined electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by coal rock with prefabricated cracks during mechanical loading. The authors report that intact rock EMR increased with loading, whereas cracked rock EMR showed staged and fluctuating behavior that became more pronounced as crack angle…

This review discusses the limited options for certain cancers and introduces non-ionizing electromagnetic fields as an emerging concept for cancer treatment. It summarizes the history of EMF use in medicine from the 1890s and describes novel methods aimed at targeting and treating cancer with non-ionizing radiation.…

This study assessed usability, feasibility, and validity of a smartphone-delivered virtual pedestrian environment by comparing it with a semi-immersive kiosk virtual environment. Among 68 adults, participants used the smartphone system without difficulty, reported no significant simulator sickness, and rated it as…

This level II diagnostic investigation evaluated whether vibrations generated by a mobile phone could screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Among 61 participants across control, lower-limb injury, and neuropathy groups, the mobile phone vibration test showed higher reported overall accuracy than a tuning fork or…
