This in vitro study evaluated combined effects of extremely low frequency EMF (50 Hz, 20 mT) and nitric oxide (NO) on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report reduced viability and morphology changes with high NO in the presence of EMF, along with increased calcium ion entry. They also report…

This animal study exposed Eisenia fetida earthworms to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields at 10–120 V/m for 2 hours (with additional tests of longer exposure, modulation, and recovery). The authors report significant DNA modifications across exposure treatments and a decrease in probe hybridisation sites persisting after…

This mouse study examined whether 50 Hz, 1 mT electromagnetic field exposure affects working memory and hippocampal electrophysiology. The authors report reduced Y-maze working memory performance after 3 days of EMF exposure, accompanied by decreased hippocampal firing rates. They also report reduced theta and…

This animal study exposed Trichoplusia ni larvae to 60 Hz, 2.0 mT ELF-EMF for 24, 48, or 72 hours and assessed immune parameters and fertility. The abstract reports no effect on life cycle and fertility after 24 hours, but several immune-related measures changed after 48–72 hours, including reduced hemolymph protein…

This in vitro study examined how Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar adapts to a 200 mT static magnetic field for 9 hours using proteomics. The authors report 35 cytosolic proteins with >2-fold expression changes after exposure, spanning metabolism, oxidative stress response, energy homeostasis, translation elongation,…

This in vitro study exposed five microorganisms (including indoor isolates and reference strains) to an extremely low frequency magnetic field (60 Hz, 3 mT) for two hours. The authors report a statistically significant increase in colony counts in exposed samples versus controls, with stronger stimulation in nutrient…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) affect growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Bacterial cultures were exposed to sinusoidal homogeneous ELF-EMF at 2 or 4 mT, with frequencies of 20, 40, or 50 Hz, for 1–6 hours, and CFU were compared…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters MCP-1 expression in several human cell lines. Cells were exposed to a 50 Hz sinusoidal field at 1 mT (rms), and the authors report that MCP-1 expression was modified in a cell-type-dependent manner. The findings are described as…

This in vitro study examined extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) effects on voltage-gated sodium (Nav) currents in rat cerebellar granule cells and whether melatonin modifies these effects. The abstract reports that 60 minutes of ELF-EMF exposure increased Nav current density, and that melatonin…

This in vitro study exposed SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells to a 2 mT, 50 Hz magnetic field for 3 hours and assessed protein expression using proteomics. The authors report that 189 proteins changed expression in exposed cells compared with controls, with PCA/clustering separating samples by condition. They…

This plant study examined effects of a 30 mT static magnetic field and cultivation in soil with high natural radioactivity on oxidative stress-related markers in Vicia faba. The abstract reports significant changes in catalase and MAPK gene expression in treated plants versus controls. Catalase activity and H2O2…

This in vitro study examined 50 Hz ELF-EMF effects on human T-type calcium channels expressed in HEK293 cells and on native T-type channels in primary cultured mouse cortical neurons. The authors report that ELF-EMF (0.2 mT) inhibited Cav3.1, Cav3.2, and Cav3.3 channel activity without changing Cav3.2 expression or…
