This animal and in vitro study examined non-thermal 900 MHz RF-EMF exposure during prenatal and postnatal development at 0.08 and 0.4 W/kg SAR. The authors report changes consistent with altered neurodevelopment, including reduced BDNF, reduced in vivo cell proliferation, and disrupted synaptic balance in rat pup…

This in vitro study examined extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) effects on spinal cord-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) from adult mice. The authors report that ELF-EMFs increase NSC proliferation and self-renewal with upregulation of Sox2. They also report activation of T-type calcium channels,…

Jan 1, 2017
This in vitro study evaluated adult murine neural stem cells exposed to GSM 900-MHz radiofrequency emissions from a mobile phone across different exposure durations. The authors report significant decreases in neurosphere number/size and neuronal differentiation with increasing exposure duration. They report no…
