This paper describes a protocol for a systematic map of evidence on how food crops and model plants respond to exposure to static magnetic fields and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields. The authors cite reports of potential agronomic benefits but also inconsistent protocols and contradictory outcomes, and they…

This in vitro study tested an ELF-EMF at a calculated thermal resonant frequency in 2D and 3D culture models of human pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, and breast cancer. The authors report reduced cell growth and a metabolic shift, including potentiation of coupled and uncoupled respiration and altered transcription…

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 evaluated whether radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure could influence wound-healing-related processes. The authors report increased keratinocyte migration and changes in expression of wound-healing genes, including MMPs, TIMPs, and pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines. The abstract…

This in vitro study tested continuous or pulsed ELF electromagnetic field exposure in human cancer cells treated with the anticancer agent 3-bromopyruvate (3BP). The authors report that ELF-EMF enhanced 3BP anti-cancer activity, which they link to reduced TNFα secretion, p21/p27-associated G2/M arrest, and cancer…

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 paper describes multi-floor indoor LTE measurement campaigns aimed at enabling assessment and monitoring of RF-EMF exposure, with emphasis on uplink exposure via mobile phone transmit power. Because uplink transmit power is not directly available from off-the-shelf devices, the authors propose an artificial…

This paper presents a 3D GIS approach to model magnetic fields from overhead high-voltage power lines while accounting for terrain relief and cable catenary. The model was validated against extensive field measurements in two complex urban environments and showed good agreement with measured values, though accuracy…

This animal and in vitro study examined ELF magnetic field exposure in a mouse breast tumor model and a breast cancer cell line. The authors report tumor growth suppression and reduced expression of Ki-67, CD31, VEGFR2, and MMP-9 after exposure. They also report increased IFN-γ and TNF-α and increased…

This in vitro and rat-model study evaluated sinusoidal low-frequency EMF combined with a PCL/nHA scaffold seeded with BMSCs for intervertebral fusion. The authors report enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and pro-osteogenic effects of conditioned medium from EMF-treated BMSCs, with suggested involvement of…

This in vitro and animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure (1 mT, 45 Hz, 8 h/day) combined with Fe-based nanomagnetic particles enhances osteogenesis. The authors report no detectable cytotoxicity and increased osteogenic markers/proteins with combined NMP + EMF exposure, alongside…

This modeling study estimated SAR in a multi-layer head model from a wearable IoT device’s Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth antenna. SAR was reported to be up to 10× higher when the antenna was placed in a headband versus on a helmet. The authors suggest that devices emitting below 3 mW EIRP may be considered environmentally…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated electromagnetic fields (EMF) treatment combined with a 3D-printed PLA/HA scaffold seeded with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for cranial defect repair. The authors report that EMF enhanced BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and was partly…

This paper develops supervised machine-learning prediction models to analyze potential impacts of weak RF-EMF on human and animal cells using extracted laboratory experimental data from prior publications. Data from 300 peer-reviewed papers (1127 experimental case studies) were used with feature selection and…

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 engineering/simulation study evaluates RF applicator concepts for ThermalMR brain tumor heating at 297 MHz (7.0 Tesla) using clinically realistic GBM-based models. EMF simulations compared 10 applicator designs and two SAR-based planning algorithms for small and large target volumes. Power-focused optimization…
