This in vitro study examined effects of moderate static magnetic field exposure on sympathetic neuron-like PC12 cells. The authors report a significant reduction in voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel current density after 18 hours of exposure, with the reduction persisting after the field was removed. RNA…
Assessment of the neurotoxic potential of exposure to 50Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) in naïve and chemically stressed PC12 cells

This in vitro study tested acute (30 min) and sub-chronic (48 h) 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure up to 1000 µT in naïve and chemically stressed PC12 cells. Across assays of Ca2+ homeostasis, ROS production, and membrane integrity, the study reports no consistent or measurable neurotoxic effects under the tested conditions.…
