This in vitro study examined whether a low-frequency EMF (30 mT, 7 Hz for 3 h) alters phagocytosis of latex beads and immune-related protein/gene expression in the human Mono Mac 6 macrophage cell line. The authors report that EMF exposure influenced phagocytosis-associated molecular markers, with notable changes in…

This study evaluated whether a lightweight Mu-metal and copper mesh shielded helmet with EMF channels could reduce external electromagnetic interference enough to measure cortically generated EMF using non-contact induction sensors without a shielded room. In five volunteers performing motor, verbalization, and…

This study reports a non-contact, non-invasive helmet system intended to measure intrinsic electromagnetic fields generated by the human brain during stereotyped motor tasks. Volunteers performed repetitive tapping, and the authors report discernible wave changes compared with rest and baseline measurements without a…

This in vitro study exposed human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem progenitor cells to an alternating EMF generated by the IteraCoil device at 0.05 and 1 kHz. The authors report that EMF exposure was associated with osteoblastic differentiation in the absence of exogenous pro-osteogenic supplements, assessed by…

This in vitro study evaluated short-term extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), alone and combined, for antibacterial effects and apoptosis induction in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report time-dependent reductions in bacterial viable counts, with…

This engineering/methods study addresses computational artifacts that can affect coupling factor calculations for localized EMF exposure assessment in IEC 62311/62233, particularly below 10 MHz. The authors propose using the 99.99th percentile rather than the maximum internal quantity to mitigate abnormal peaks from…

This laboratory study examined radiofrequency EMF exposure between 1 and 5.9 GHz as a method to control yeast growth relevant to food spoilage. The authors report reduced yeast viability at all tested frequencies and note that antenna-to-sample distance affected the outcome. Electron microscopy findings are described…

This in vitro study fabricated PCL nanofibrous scaffolds containing cobalt-zinc ferrite nanoparticles and evaluated physicochemical/mechanical properties and cell-related outcomes. The abstract reports improved hydrophilicity, biodegradation, and stress at break with CZF-NP incorporation, and improved L929 cell…

This exposure assessment measured RF-EMF levels in 21 state hospitals in Samsun Province, Turkey using short-term, long-term, and band-selective approaches across 100 kHz–3 GHz (total) and 27 MHz–3 GHz (band-selective). The study reports that the ICTA 3 V/m limit was exceeded in at least some hospital measurements,…

This study evaluated whether adding extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure to a rehabilitation program affects apoptosis-related gene expression in post-stroke patients. Forty-eight patients (3–4 weeks post-incident) were divided into ELF-EMF and non-ELF-EMF groups, with the ELF-EMF group…

This in vitro study developed carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-grafted polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. It reports mineralization and osteonectin expression in adipose mesenchymal stem cells cultured on the scaffolds, suggesting osteoinductive properties of the grafted CMC. The…

This study evaluated whether adding therapeutic extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) treatment to a rehabilitation program affects inflammatory cytokine activity in post-stroke patients. Following ELF-EMF treatment, IL-1β plasma levels and IL-1β mRNA expression increased, and IL-2 plasma levels…

This study tested pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic fields (up to 10,000 Hz; max 21 mT) as a potential alternative sanitation approach for poultry drinking water systems. LF-EMF exposure was linked to variable changes in culturable bacterial counts, with direction depending on system type and some early…

This laboratory study used RNA-seq to examine how low-intensity electromagnetic field (LI-EMF) exposure affects global gene expression in the fungus Irpex lacteus. Thousands of differentially expressed genes were reported immediately after exposure, with fewer changes after 3 h and 6 h recovery, and a subset of genes…

This EBioMedicine commentary discusses tumour-specific amplitude-modulated RF EMF as an anti-cancer therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma and highlights Cav3.2 (CACNA1H) T-type calcium channels as a proposed mediator of the effect. It notes that the reported whole-body averaged SAR in a treated HCC patient was below…

This in vitro study exposed human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells to an ELF-EMF stimulus (7 Hz, 2.5 µT) and compared responses with a nitric oxide chemical treatment. The authors report reduced cell proliferation with no change in metabolic activity, vitality, or apoptosis after ELF-EMF exposure. They also report…

This in vitro study exposed SH-SY5Y cells to a 50 Hz, 0.50 mT electromagnetic field under intermittent or continuous conditions, alongside β-lapachone and/or morphine. The authors report condition-dependent changes in antioxidant gene expression, including decreased NQO1 and increased NQO2 under intermittent EMF…
