Feb 23, 2026
This in vitro study exposed HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 0.4 or 0.8 mT for 9 or 18 hours under continuous or discontinuous conditions. The authors report significant changes in miR-21, miR-141, miR-135, and miR-138 expression and increased apoptosis and necrosis measured by flow cytometry.…

Jan 1, 2023
This in vitro study tested whether a low-frequency EMF (7 Hz, 30 mT) alters phagocytosis-related outcomes in the human monocytic Mono Mac 6 cell line. EMF exposure was associated with increased necrosis in cells pre-stimulated with SEB and then undergoing latex bead phagocytosis, while no significant cell-death…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure affects viability of human oral mucosa keratinocytes. Apoptosis (early/late) and necrosis were measured by flow cytometry, including conditions with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or minocycline. The authors report that LF-EMF, alone…

This animal study evaluated 50 Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure and brain histopathology in Cyprinus carpio. Fish were sham-exposed or exposed to magnetic field intensities from 0.1 to 7 mT for 0.5 or 1 hour. The authors report severe brain histopathological changes at intensities ≥3 mT,…

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 animal and in vitro study reports a method to lyse tumor cells mechanically using targeted superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles rotated by a weak alternating magnetic field. Nude mice with head and neck tumors received cetuximab-coated nanoparticles and 4 Hz field exposures for 30 minutes on alternating…

Jan 1, 2014
This institutional study evaluated radiofrequency ablation for inferior turbinate hypertrophy in 200 patients with allergic or non-allergic rhinitis. Most patients reported improvement in nasal symptoms, with relatively few reporting persistent nasal obstruction or other symptoms at follow-up. The authors report no…

Jan 1, 2014
This animal study evaluated a therapeutic 120 Hz pulsed EMF device (10–20 mT) in C3H mice bearing implanted murine mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Across seven treated groups, EMF exposure over 12 days was reported to suppress tumor growth, with specific dose/time regimens described as most effective. The authors also…
