This animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects bone loss in a levothyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism rat model. Rats exposed to 15 Hz/1 mT EMF plus levothyroxine showed improved bone mineral density, mechanical measures, and partially restored trabecular bone architecture compared…

This in vitro study tested 50 Hz, 3 mT electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and 808 nm low-level laser (LLL), alone and combined, on human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells from six donors. The authors report increased cell numbers after 7 days with EMF, greater increases with LLL, and the largest…

This survey experiment tested how precautionary messages about RF-EMFs from mobile phones and base stations affect recipients' threat perceptions and emotional distress. The effect of precautionary information on threat perception depended on individual differences, particularly trait anxiety and gender. The study…

This in vitro study exposed human keratinocyte cells (NCTC 2544) to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 0.25–2 G and assessed oxidative stress-related endpoints. Significant increases in ROS were reported at 0.5 and 1 G, with associated short-term changes in antioxidant and lipid peroxidation markers. The authors report that…

This publication is a comment on a study reporting an association between excessive mobile phone use during pregnancy and birth weight. The authors argue the referenced study has shortcomings and cannot address whether ordinary mobile phone use during pregnancy leads to low birth weight. They note their prior…

This paper describes an on-line ELF magnetic stimulation setup and evaluates coil field distribution using COMSOL simulations alongside physical measurements. The authors report that modeled and measured magnetic flux densities were similar, and that stimulation induced sodium channel currents and fEPSPs in rat…

This paper describes in situ EMF measurements around industrial high frequency (dielectric) welders, framed by Polish labor safety regulations aligned with EU Directive 2013/35/EU. It reports real-world scenarios where excessive EMF exposure can occur near welders, often linked to errors or omissions during…

This in vitro study examined how 50 Hz low-frequency EMF and a nitric oxide donor (Deta-NO) affect stemness and neuronal differentiation markers in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report that high NO (1 mM) combined with EMF reduced stemness markers and increased neuronal differentiation markers,…

This animal study examined whether extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure alters morphine analgesia and tolerance in rats. Rats exposed to a 50 Hz magnetic field (reported as 5 mT) showed higher morphine analgesic effects than rats given morphine without field exposure. In morphine-tolerant rats,…

This in vitro study exposed human osteoarthritic and non-osteoarthritic chondrocyte pellets to a sinusoidal 15 Hz electromagnetic field at 5 mT or 8 mT for 7 days. Under 5 mT, osteoarthritic chondrocytes showed increased expression of cartilage-related genes (COL2A1 and ACAN) compared with controls, while…

This in vitro study examined whether a 50-Hz, 0.50 mT intermittent electromagnetic field modifies responses to cisplatin and bleomycin in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. The authors report increased susceptibility in MCF-7 cells with EMF added to cisplatin+bleomycin, while SH-SY5Y susceptibility was unchanged. They also…
