This study assessed pre-sowing treatment of saffron corms with cold plasma, vacuum, and an electromagnetic field (5 min) and measured effects on sprouting, growth, and stigma metabolites. EMF treatment did not affect corm viability and showed neutral or slightly positive growth effects, including increased flower…

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 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 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 exposure assessment measured in situ smartphone uplink duty cycles for 4G LTE and 5G NR across six voice, video, and data use cases. Measurements were taken at ten positions near a 4G and 5G base-station site in Belgium. Reported duty cycles varied by application, with some use cases showing low-to-moderate duty…

This laboratory/engineering study examined how sulfide modification of nanoscale zero-valent iron interacts with an electromagnetic field to degrade decabromodiphenyl ether. The combined sulfidation+EMF condition reportedly increased the specific reaction rate constant by 7–10× versus nZVI alone. The abstract…

This in vitro study exposed B16-BL6 melanoma cells to a time-varying EMF modeled after intercellular calcium-wave firing patterns. The abstract reports a 50.3% reduction in viable cells after a single 40-minute exposure and microscopy findings consistent with apoptosis and nuclear fragmentation versus control. The…

This laboratory/engineering study evaluated thermally enhanced desorption of m-xylene from soil using heat generated by zero-valent iron (ZVI) under low-frequency electromagnetic fields. The abstract reports rapid heating (to ~60°C in 20 minutes) and substantially lower residual m-xylene after 60 minutes versus soil…

This engineering study used electromagnetic field-assisted laser cladding to produce Norem02 iron-based cemented carbide coatings on 304 stainless steel and evaluated microstructure and mechanical-related properties. The abstract reports no change in phase composition but notable microstructural refinement and…

This animal study used non-contact induction sensors and a shielded helmet to measure cortical EMF patterns in a Yucatan miniswine before and after traumatic brain injury induced by controlled cortical impact. The authors report that targeted low-frequency EMF stimulation initiated 20 minutes post-injury was…

This in vitro study tested ELF-EMF exposure in U87 and U251 glioblastoma cell lines and assessed apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, cell size, and mRNA expression of cell-cycle genes. The authors report higher apoptosis induction and increased G2/M arrest in U87 compared with U251, alongside increased U87 cell size…

This in vitro study tested whether a 50 Hz, 20 mT extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) enhances the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with low-dose DOX reduced cell viability at lower DOX concentrations than DOX…

This study examined whether exposing maize seeds to electromagnetic fields (23, 70, 118 μT) for 15 days alters physicochemical properties of starch isolated from the resulting grains. SEM and X-ray diffraction results suggest starch morphology and orthorhombic crystalline structure were largely unchanged, though…

This paper reports a PubMed and Google Scholar-based review of EMF research related to brain pathology, with emphasis on ischemic and traumatic brain injury. It provides a critical overview of the state of the art and describes the authors’ experimental and ongoing studies. The authors conclude that EMF applications…

This in vitro study assessed 50 Hz, 100 G extremely low-frequency EMF in combination with temozolomide and radiation in T98 glioblastoma cells grown as monolayers and spheroids. Radiation plus EMF increased apoptosis-related gene expression, while temozolomide plus EMF increased autophagy marker expression compared…

This in vitro study exposed two human breast cancer cell lines to a 50 Hz ELF-EMF (20 mT) for 3 hours/day for up to four days. The authors report reduced viability and apoptosis-related findings in MDA-MB-231 cells, with no significant viability change in MCF-7 cells. Cell-cycle effects differed by cell line,…

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 in vitro study examined intermittent extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure (6 h/day) in human periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells during osteogenic differentiation. After 10 days, ELF-EMF-exposed cells showed increased proliferation and calcium deposition versus sham.…

This study uses HFSS/EMPro simulations to model a 64 MHz antenna exposure on a multilayer human head to match parameters previously used in neuronal culture experiments. The simulations report achieving up to 0.6 W/kg maximum SAR and approximately 0.4–0.6 W/kg across head layers with a 1 A peak current pulse. The…

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…
