This experimental study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment as a chemical-free approach to mitigate biofouling in reclaimed water distribution systems. The authors report that EMFs altered biofilm bacterial communities, reduced diversity, disrupted co-occurrence network structure, and inhibited biofilm…

This in vitro study developed carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-grafted polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. It reports mineralization and osteonectin expression in adipose mesenchymal stem cells cultured on the scaffolds, suggesting osteoinductive properties of the grafted CMC. The…

This in vitro study exposed human dermal papilla cells to 70 Hz extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at 5–100 G for four days. The abstract reports increased expression of several anagen-related molecules and increased proliferation, with 10 G described as the most potent condition. It also reports…

This review discusses medical applications of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields spanning 0 Hz to the THz range, focusing mainly on therapeutic uses and mentioning few diagnostic approaches. It reports that current EMF-based methods generally have limited clinical impact and are not expected to replace conventional…

This study develops a numerical voxel rat model with 10 segmented brain regions to evaluate region-specific dosimetry under plane-wave EMF exposure. It reports that brain-region averaged SAR varies with frequency, incidence direction, and E-polarization direction. The authors also report potentially large deviations…

This in vitro study evaluated whether extremely low-frequency EMF exposure (100 Hz, 100 G) modifies the effects of temozolomide (100 µM) in human glioblastoma U87 cells over 120–144 hours. The authors report that combined treatment reduced stemness-associated markers (Nestin, CD133, Notch4) and increased GFAP…

This exposure-assessment study used on-body calibrated personal exposimeters to characterize spatial and temporal variability of personal RF-EMF exposure across microenvironments in five cities in Flanders, Belgium. Brussels showed the highest mean total exposure, while Antwerp had higher downlink exposure than…

This animal study in C57BL/6 mice reports that exposure to 50 Hz EMF affected hair follicle regrowth. It also reports increased proliferation of K15 stem cells in hair follicle regions. The authors interpret the findings as potentially beneficial for healing hair loss, but key methodological details are not provided…

This in vitro study examined acute low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure using high-induction magnetic stimulation in F11 cells, a dorsal root ganglia neuron-derived model of peripheral sensory neurons. Short-term exposure (

This theoretical paper addresses how to define work done on an electromagnetic field by moving charges when the standard Hamiltonian is not gauge invariant. It reports a new gauge-invariant Hamiltonian expressed in terms of physical observables, which the authors say allows defining work and formulating the second…

This in vitro study exposed human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells to an ELF-EMF stimulus (7 Hz, 2.5 µT) and compared responses with a nitric oxide chemical treatment. The authors report reduced cell proliferation with no change in metabolic activity, vitality, or apoptosis after ELF-EMF exposure. They also report…
