This animal study tested repeated 50 Hz, 5 mT ELF-EMF exposure in rats with and without PTZ-induced epilepsy. The authors report changes in learning/short-term memory in the EMF+PTZ group versus PTZ alone and increased analgesia latency in EMF-exposed groups. PTZ increased oxidative stress (TOS) in brain regions, and…

This study reports a measurement-based assessment of outdoor downlink RF-EMF exposure in a French city using drive testing, spot measurements, and a streetlamp-mounted sensor network. The authors report good agreement across methods and correlations between smoothed drive-test data, spot measurements, and base…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) polarity and directional migration at wound edges. EMF-treated cells showed increased asymmetric redistribution of the polarity marker β-COP and altered γ-tubulin localization at wound margins. The…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters responses of TNF-α-stimulated human microglial cells (HMC3). Cells exposed to 2.5 or 5 Hz EMF for 3 minutes showed increased survival under high TNF-α conditions and reduced migration compared with TNF-α treatment alone. EMF also…

This in vitro study examined extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) effects on spinal cord-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) from adult mice. The authors report that ELF-EMFs increase NSC proliferation and self-renewal with upregulation of Sox2. They also report activation of T-type calcium channels,…

This prospective, open-label, uncontrolled monocentric study evaluated a device combining vacuum and electromagnetic fields for cellulite treatment in 35 women. Participants received 12 weekly sessions (~20–30 minutes each), with outcomes assessed 1 month after the final treatment. The abstract reports statistically…

This in vitro/in ovo study examined whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (ELF-EMS; 13.5 mT at 10 and 60 Hz) activates angiogenic processes under homeostatic conditions. In human microvascular endothelial cells, ELF-EMS increased proliferation, migration/transmigration, and tube formation, with…

This laboratory study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects wheat seed germination and early seedling development. Seeds exposed to 10 Hz, 7.5 mT EMF (5 h over 3 days) reportedly germinated earlier and showed higher biomass than untreated controls. The abstract also reports increased total…

This animal study tested whether RF-EMF exposure modifies lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in male Wistar rats. IR increased histologic injury, inflammatory/apoptotic markers, oxidative stress indices, and Hif-1α/eNOS/BAX while decreasing BCL2. The IR + RF-EMF group reportedly improved across measured parameters, and…

This prospective study enrolled 10 adults with atraumatic or traumatic brain injury who received tailored cranial EMF stimulation using a portable helmet with real-time EMF measurement and parameter adjustment. The abstract reports symptom resolution or remaining asymptomatic in 8 participants at varying stimulation…

This ex vivo study tested whether different magnetic-field modalities change transdermal delivery of naproxen through pigskin. Rotating magnetic fields (RMF) at 50 Hz produced the greatest increase in permeation metrics versus a no-EMF control, while negatively polarized static fields reduced permeation.…

This engineering study evaluates and calibrates an EMF area monitor for the 300 kHz–20 MHz frequency band using a multi-wire transverse electromagnetic (MWTEM) transmission line as a controlled electric-field source. The authors highlight that low-frequency electric-field measurements can be sensitive to boundary…

This animal study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation as a treatment after sciatic nerve injury in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats received low-intensity (60–100 G; 6–10 mT) or high-intensity (140–200 G; 14–20 mT) EMF exposure for 2 hours/day over 4 weeks. The abstract reports improved motor/mobility…

This cross-sectional study tested whether providing precautionary advice about RF-EMF in the context of 5G changes risk perception and trust in general population samples from Germany and Greece. Precautionary information showed few effects, increasing only one risk perception measure and only in Germany, and the…

This narrative review discusses how electric and magnetic field technologies are applied in agriculture and how plants may respond. It proposes a model to explain potential mechanistic convergence between electric and magnetic field effects. The review highlights several suggested mechanisms, including membrane…

This pilot animal study exposed mature male Wistar rats to 4.9 GHz electromagnetic fields described as 5G-standard, for 15 days (2 hours/day) in a semi-anechoic shielded chamber. Open-field testing found no clear behavioral differences between unmodulated and modulated exposures. Statistically significant behavioral…
