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 a low-frequency EMF (30 mT, 7 Hz for 3 h) alters phagocytosis of latex beads and immune-related protein/gene expression in the human Mono Mac 6 macrophage cell line. The authors report that EMF exposure influenced phagocytosis-associated molecular markers, with notable changes in…

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 in vitro study examined 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF exposure in LPS-treated THP-1 cells for 1–24 hours. The authors report increased HO-1 expression and Nrf2-related signaling, with nuclear enrichment of HO-1 and modulation of SIRT1/NF-κB pathways. They interpret these molecular changes as suggesting a protective,…
A Single Exposure to GSM-1800 MHz Signals in the Course of an Acute Neuroinflammatory Reaction can Alter Neuronal Responses and Microglial Morphology in the Rat Primary Auditory Cortex.

This animal study examined whether acute GSM-1800 MHz exposure affects the auditory cortex during experimentally induced neuroinflammation. In LPS-treated rats, a single 2-hour head-only exposure (average SAR 1.55 W/kg in auditory cortex) was associated with altered microglial morphology and reduced neuronal activity…
