This in vitro study tested a 50 Hz, 1.3 mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field applied for 15 or 30 minutes to ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelial cells and RGC-5 retinal ganglion cells. The authors report improved proliferative and migratory capacity after EMF exposure, alongside increased HO-1 and altered RNA…

Jan 1, 2017
This in vitro study exposed human proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (HKC) to microwave irradiation for 24 hours and assessed cell injury, oxidative stress, and cell death. The authors report increased injury markers (LDH, NAG), increased oxidative stress (higher MDA, lower SOD), and more apoptosis/necrosis…

This in vitro study exposed BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells to a 1.8-GHz continuous EMF at SAR 1.0 W/kg and assessed wound-healing related endpoints. EMF exposure decreased cell migration in a scratch assay compared with controls. The authors report no cytotoxicity, no inhibition of proliferation, and no…

Jan 1, 2014
This study tested noninvasive 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric fields as a treatment adjunct for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in cell lines and mouse xenograft models. The authors report RF exposure caused cytotoxicity in PDAC cells via autophagy (not apoptosis) and that normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells…
Intestinal MMC-related electric fields and pancreatic juice control the adhesion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to the gut epithelium--in vitro study.

Jan 1, 2008
This in vitro study tested whether a weak electric field reconstructed from duodenal spiking potentials during an MMC cycle affects bacterial adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. The MMC-related electric field increased adhesion of Lactobacillus and Lactococcus strains, while two pathogenic strains…
