Negative Controls That Matter

Independent Voices RF Safe Jan 14, 2026

RF Safe argues that “no effect” findings in some RF exposure studies should be interpreted as meaningful negative controls rather than as evidence that RF has no biological effects. The post presents RF Safe’s “S4–Mito–Spin” framework, claiming certain skin cell types (fibroblasts and keratinocytes) are predicted to be relatively resistant to non-thermal RF effects, so null results in these cells can be consistent with the model. It cites in-vitro studies at 3.5 GHz (5G-modulated) reporting no changes in ROS measures, stress responses, or UV-B DNA repair kinetics under specified SAR conditions, and frames these nulls as boundary conditions rather than a general safety conclusion.

Electromagnetic Fields as a Weak Magnetic Co‑Zeitgeber for the Body Clock

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 24, 2025

This RF Safe article argues that everyday electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could act as a weak “magnetic co‑zeitgeber,” subtly influencing circadian timing alongside light. It proposes a mechanism in which EMFs modulate cryptochrome radical‑pair spin dynamics, potentially nudging circadian phase and downstream processes such as melatonin rhythms, immune function, epigenetic programming, and DNA repair. The piece presents the idea as a framework with testable implications while acknowledging uncertainties, but it is primarily explanatory/commentary rather than reporting new study results.

Impact of in vitro exposure to 5G-modulated 3.5 GHz fields on oxidative stress and DNA repair in skin cells

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This in vitro study tested whether 5G-modulated 3.5 GHz RF-EMF exposure affects oxidative stress and DNA repair in human skin cells. Under acute exposure conditions (up to 24–48h) at SARs up to 4 W/kg, the authors report no significant changes in ROS markers, no adaptive response to oxidative challenge, and no impairment of UV-B–related CPD repair via nucleotide excision repair. The authors note that acute in vitro results may not directly generalize to chronic or real-life exposures.

Skin Fibroblasts from Individuals Self-Diagnosed as Electrosensitive Reveal Two Distinct Subsets with Delayed Nucleoshuttling of the ATM Protein in Common

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This study reports on 26 adults self-diagnosed with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) who provided skin biopsies to generate primary fibroblast lines. The authors describe two EHS subsets based on questionnaire and DNA damage-related measures, and report delayed ATM nucleoshuttling after X-ray exposure in all samples, interpreted as impaired DNA repair signaling. They propose a molecular model linking EHS to ATM pathway dysfunction and suggest this could relate to increased cancer risk or accelerated aging.
