This in vitro study examined whether a 50-Hz, 0.50 mT intermittent electromagnetic field modifies responses to cisplatin and bleomycin in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. The authors report increased susceptibility in MCF-7 cells with EMF added to cisplatin+bleomycin, while SH-SY5Y susceptibility was unchanged. They also…

This correspondence discusses a prior ecological study examining a possible association between RF-EMF exposure in Albacete, Spain and cancer incidence. The cancers mentioned include lymphomas and brain tumors. The correspondence indicates that shortcomings of the ecological study are discussed, but does not detail…

This study reports a technology that records a specific radiofrequency electromagnetic energy signal associated with EGFR siRNA and applies it to cells. The abstract describes reductions in EGFR mRNA and protein expression versus controls, with specificity assessed using RNA microarray and antibody dot blot array. It…

This clinical study evaluated whether adding ELF-EMF exposure to a 4-week rehabilitation program affects antioxidant and clinical status in ischemic stroke patients. Fifty-seven patients were assigned to an ELF-EMF group or a non-ELF-EMF group, with the exposed group receiving 40 Hz, 7 mT for 15 minutes per day over…

This animal study tested four frequency-band EMF exposures (1–50,000 Hz variants) in an ovariectomized mouse model of osteoporosis over 8 weeks (3 h/day). Low- and band-pass exposures increased bone formation markers and osteogenesis-related gene expression, while high-pass exposure decreased both formation and…

This in vitro study examined rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells exposed to zinc sulphate in the presence of an ELF electromagnetic field (50 Hz, 20 mT). The authors report increased osteogenic differentiation markers (gene expression, ALP activity, and calcium levels) under combined ZnSO4+EMF conditions,…

This animal study evaluated whether 50 Hz EMF exposure enhances wound healing after transplantation of human epidermal stem cells (ESC) seeded in collagen sponge scaffolds. Thirty-six nude mice with full-thickness wounds were assigned to control, ESC-only, or ESC+EMF groups (50 Hz, 5 mT, 60 min/day for 20 days). The…

This paper describes an engineering approach to avoid RF/microwave radiation in wearable EEG data transmission by using visible light communication. The system performance was tested at different illuminance levels and an algorithm for low-illuminance operation was proposed. The authors report error-free transmission…

This in vitro study describes a method to improve DNA ligation by immobilizing T4 DNA ligase on ferromagnetic particles and applying a radio frequency alternating magnetic field. The field causes the particles to dissipate heat, which the authors report selectively heats and activates the ligase while minimally…

This review-style article discusses gerontechnologies—mobile applications on smartphones/tablets and remote monitoring systems—for outpatient symptom monitoring and self-care management in older adults with heart failure. It frames these tools as potentially cost-effective and accessible when designed for older…

This observational study examined whether passively collected smartphone GPS features relate to depressive symptom severity in 48 college students over 10 weeks. Several mobility features (including location variance, entropy, and circadian movement) were reported to correlate with PHQ-9 scores. Associations were…

This conference paper describes an automated method for ABO and Rh-D blood typing using images captured by low-cost mobile phones of a fabric strip rapid diagnostic test. The approach applies morphological image processing steps including noise reduction, range filtering, and empirically derived heuristics to…

This in vitro study exposed rat calvarial osteoblasts to 50 Hz, 0.6 mT pulsed electromagnetic fields for 1.5 hours and measured early differentiation-related markers over 0–12 hours. The abstract reports increased ALP activity at 3 hours and time-dependent changes in ALP, Runx2, and OSX transcription and Runx2/OSX…

This engineering study demonstrates magnetophoretic track designs that transport single magnetized beads and magnetically labeled single cells in a 3D time-varying magnetic field. A vertical field bias is reported to reduce particle clustering but necessitates redesigned track geometries with alternating curvature.…

This proof-of-concept cohort study evaluated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) radiofrequency tissue tagging to diagnose constrictive pericarditis and compared results with surgical findings and cardiac catheterization. In 16 patients who underwent pericardiectomy, CMR positivity agreed 100% with intraoperative…

This study used numerical modeling with a human body model to evaluate how the placement of a single body-worn personal exposimeter affects RF electric-field measurements in the 98–2450 MHz range. Across 256 simulated exposure scenarios, the body substantially altered measured values compared with the unperturbed…

This exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…
