This in vitro study tested whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, 20 mT) enhance docetaxel effects in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with docetaxel produced a similar reduction in cell viability at a lower docetaxel concentration than docetaxel alone,…

This animal study tested repeated 50 Hz, 5 mT ELF-EMF exposure in rats with and without PTZ-induced epilepsy. The authors report changes in learning/short-term memory in the EMF+PTZ group versus PTZ alone and increased analgesia latency in EMF-exposed groups. PTZ increased oxidative stress (TOS) in brain regions, and…

This study reports a measurement-based assessment of outdoor downlink RF-EMF exposure in a French city using drive testing, spot measurements, and a streetlamp-mounted sensor network. The authors report good agreement across methods and correlations between smoothed drive-test data, spot measurements, and base…

This online survey experiment tested whether risk-communication strategies affect public acceptance of 5G base stations amid health-related EMF concerns in China. Government and industry sources increased support more than civil society sources, and gain-framed messages increased acceptance more than loss-framed…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) polarity and directional migration at wound edges. EMF-treated cells showed increased asymmetric redistribution of the polarity marker β-COP and altered γ-tubulin localization at wound margins. The…

This in vitro study exposed DU-145 prostate cancer cells to extremely low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF P-EMF) at different intensities and times. The authors report increased cell mortality and apoptosis with higher intensity (22.6–35 mT) and longer exposure. They also report gene-expression changes…

This study reports that glioblastoma-specific amplitude-modulated 27.12 MHz RF electromagnetic fields (delivered intrabuccally) inhibited proliferation in several glioblastoma cell lines exposed 3 hours/day at patient-matched levels. The authors propose a mechanism involving CACNA1H and modulation of the “Mitotic…

This 8-year longitudinal study of thermal power station workers assessed co-exposure to occupational noise and ELF-EMFs in relation to PSA levels. Noise exposure (LAeq) was associated with increased log-PSA in both unadjusted and adjusted models, and the association persisted after adjusting for ELF-EMFs. ELF-EMF…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters responses of TNF-α-stimulated human microglial cells (HMC3). Cells exposed to 2.5 or 5 Hz EMF for 3 minutes showed increased survival under high TNF-α conditions and reduced migration compared with TNF-α treatment alone. EMF also…

This engineering study modeled and tested a distributed wearable RF EMF measurement approach intended to reduce body-proximity effects on personal exposure meter readings. Numerical simulations covered 24 far-field wireless exposure scenarios (100–3600 MHz), and physical tests with three probes were also performed.…

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,…

This translational engineering paper describes a portable RF birdcage/meander line antenna concept for repeated electromagnetic field stimulation at 64 MHz aimed at lowering amyloid-beta in Alzheimer’s disease. The abstract reports prior in vitro findings in primary human brain cultures showing reduced secreted Aβ-42…

This in vitro study examined ELF-EMF effects in normal cybrids and NARP cybrids carrying a pathogenic MT-ATP6 mtDNA mutation mixture. ELF-EMF did not alter mtDNA copy number or the wild-type-to-mutant mtDNA ratio, but it increased mtDNA transcription and multiple markers of mitochondrial function in NARP cybrids,…

This in vitro/in ovo study examined whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (ELF-EMS; 13.5 mT at 10 and 60 Hz) activates angiogenic processes under homeostatic conditions. In human microvascular endothelial cells, ELF-EMS increased proliferation, migration/transmigration, and tube formation, with…
