Morphological and cytophysiological changes in selected lines of normal and cancer human cells under the influence of a radio-frequency electromagnetic field.
This in vitro study exposed human fibroblasts and prostate cancer cells to 2.5 GHz RF-EMF for 24, 48, and 72 hours and assessed viability and morphology. The authors report decreased viability in fibroblasts and increased viability in prostate cancer cells after exposure, while morphology showed no significant changes. The authors conclude these results support a hypothesis that high-frequency EMF can have harmful effects on human cells.
Key points
- Human fibroblasts and prostate cancer cells were exposed to 2.5 GHz RF-EMF for up to 72 hours.
- Cell viability was measured using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay.
- The study reports a significant decrease in fibroblast viability after RF-EMF exposure.
- The study reports a significant increase in prostate cancer cell viability after RF-EMF exposure.
- Morphological analysis reportedly showed no significant changes in either cell line.
- The authors frame the findings as supporting a hypothesis of harmful cellular effects from high-frequency EMF.
