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 paper reports a survey designed to prioritize which RF EMF-related health outcomes should be addressed in systematic reviews. Of 300 experts queried, 164 responded and rated cancer, heat-related effects, adverse birth/pregnancy outcomes, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, cognitive impairment, and oxidative…

This in vitro study evaluated 50 Hz, 70 G electromagnetic field exposure in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) in T98 and A172 glioblastoma cell lines. The authors report that EMF plus TMZ increased cell death and reduced migration potential compared with controls. They also report increased p53 gene expression and…

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 animal and in vitro study evaluated a composite osteochondral scaffold with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation. The authors report that EMF promoted BMSC proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation in vitro, partly via PI3K/AKT/mTOR…

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 in vitro and rat study evaluated sinusoidal electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on 3D-printed scaffolds for repairing critical-sized calvarial defects. The authors report that EMF-treated cell scaffolds accelerated bone defect repair in rats.…

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 narrative review synthesizes evidence up to September 2019 on health risks from radiofrequency exposure emitted by mobile phones, in the context of IARC's 2013 Group 2B classification. The authors report that the literature does not show a clear risk profile and cannot definitively confirm or refute a health…

This paper presents an in vitro, noncontact solenoid-coil device designed to deliver intermediate-frequency induced electromagnetic fields that generate electric fields in cell and tissue cultures. The system aims to improve field characterization and reduce conductive heating compared with electrode-based approaches…

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 animal study evaluated whether low-frequency EMF exposure affects bioengineered hair follicle generation in nude mice injected with a mixture of epidermal stem cells and dermal papilla cells. Histology (H&E) at 7 or 14 days suggested more hair follicle eruption and higher density of hair follicle-like structures…

This in vitro study tested whether 50 Hz extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (0.5 or 1 mT) affect human dental pulp stem cell survival and proliferation. Using MTT and DAPI assays after 7 days of exposure (20 or 40 min/day), all exposed groups reportedly showed higher viability/proliferation than controls.…

This in vitro study evaluated whether extremely low-frequency EMF (50 Hz,

This engineering study designed and tested a compact wideband self-grounded bow-tie RF antenna module for a whole-body 7.0 T MRI system, aiming to enable 1H/19F MRI, MR thermometry, and broadband RF thermal intervention. The authors report validated B1 efficiency measurements and phantom-based heating experiments…

This experimental study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment as a chemical-free approach to mitigate biofouling in reclaimed water distribution systems. The authors report that EMFs altered biofilm bacterial communities, reduced diversity, disrupted co-occurrence network structure, and inhibited biofilm…

This in vitro study developed carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-grafted polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. It reports mineralization and osteonectin expression in adipose mesenchymal stem cells cultured on the scaffolds, suggesting osteoinductive properties of the grafted CMC. The…

This protocol describes a proof-of-concept open-label randomized controlled trial in Western Kenya assessing whether SMS reminders added to standard care improve malaria treatment adherence and day 3 post-treatment review attendance. Caregivers of children under five with uncomplicated malaria will be randomized to…
