This review examines temperature-independent (non-thermal) effects of RF and microwave electromagnetic fields, emphasizing antiproliferative effects relevant to oncology. It summarizes preclinical and clinical literature on conventional RF hyperthermia and amplitude-modulated RF hyperthermia and argues that evidence…

This plant study examined whether 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave exposure affects electric signaling in Nicotiana benthamiana after leaf burning. The authors report a significant reduction in the amplitude of the injury-evoked variation potential, mainly due to a reduced depolarization rate. The reported effect…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as a nonchemical method to activate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cardioprotection. In rabbits undergoing brief coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion, PRP injection into ischemic myocardium was associated with reduced infarct…
