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 study examined whether 900 MHz RF-EMF exposure modifies biological pathways associated with electrochemotherapy (ECT) in 4T1 cells and in mice bearing 4T1 tumors. At the highest reported power density (349 µW/cm), RF exposure was reported to increase ECT-induced tumor hypoxia and increase IFN-γ compared with ECT…

This cross-sectional survey in five French cities assessed whether measured RF-EMF exposure from mobile-phone base stations was associated with self-reported non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms among residents living within 250 m of a base station. Overall, measured base-station exposure was not associated with…

This double-blind randomized sham-controlled repeated-measures study examined short-term 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (28 μT) to the chest and its effects on HR and HRV in 34 healthy young men. HR deceleration occurred in both EMF and sham conditions, but several HRV indices (SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF) increased only in the EMF…

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 protocols for a systematic review of experimental studies assessing RF-EMF exposure (100 kHz–300 GHz) and outcomes related to male fertility and pregnancy/birth effects. The review will cover three evidence streams: non-human mammal male reproductive outcomes, human sperm exposed in vitro, and in…

This animal study compared 50 Hz extremely low-frequency EMF exposure with doxorubicin (and their combination) in Walker-256 carcinosarcoma-bearing rats, assessing tumor growth and liver redox-related outcomes. DOX and DOX+EMF were reported to inhibit tumor growth more than EMF alone, though EMF alone also showed an…

This cross-sectional online survey examined whether paranoid ideation is associated with modern health worries and idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF). Paranoid ideation was positively associated with modern health worries and with IEI-EMF status, even after controlling…

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 tested 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF exposure (8 h/day for 21 days) and betaine (10 mM) during osteogenic induction of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report ELF-EMF decreased osteogenic differentiation and reduced RUNX2 and OCN gene expression compared with non-EMF conditions.…

This animal study examined whether 8 weeks of EMF exposure affects insulin resistance and fatty liver features in db/db mice. The authors report improvements in insulin resistance markers, hepatic redox balance, and steatosis-related outcomes after EMF exposure. They also report reduced liver triglycerides and lower…

This animal study evaluated whether ELF-EMF exposure affects recovery-related outcomes after cerebral ischemia in rats. Rats exposed to 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF for 2 hours daily over 28 days showed better Morris water maze performance than untreated rats. The study also reports increased hippocampal neurogenesis markers…

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 article reviews Italian jurisprudence on alleged occupational tumours linked to RF EMF exposure (notably from wireless phones), with some cases also involving other RF sources or ELF magnetic fields. It contrasts court decisions that recognized occupational causation with others that rejected it, emphasizing how…
