This randomized animal study evaluated whether recombinant murine EGF combined with ELF-EMF improves wound healing in rats. The combined ELF-EMF+rmEGF group showed better wound healing rates and more favorable histological features than comparison groups at multiple time points. All groups had complete wound closure…

This in vitro study tested whether ELF-EMF exposure (50 Hz, 1 mT; 30 min/day) influences osteogenic differentiation markers in rat bone-marrow-derived stem cells cultured in osteogenic medium or in human adipose-stem cell-conditioned medium. The OM + EMF condition showed higher ALP activity and higher Runx2 and Ocn…

This double-blinded crossover study tested an ELF-EMF mattress used immediately after high-intensity cycling and overnight in nine trained male athletes. The authors report no significant overall effects on performance and inflammation. However, between 60 minutes and 24 hours post-exercise, the active condition…

This in vitro study tested ELF-EMF exposure in U87 and U251 glioblastoma cell lines and assessed apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, cell size, and mRNA expression of cell-cycle genes. The authors report higher apoptosis induction and increased G2/M arrest in U87 compared with U251, alongside increased U87 cell size…

This in vitro study tested whether a 50 Hz, 20 mT extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) enhances the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) in the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with low-dose DOX reduced cell viability at lower DOX concentrations than DOX…

This in vitro study exposed two human breast cancer cell lines to a 50 Hz ELF-EMF (20 mT) for 3 hours/day for up to four days. The authors report reduced viability and apoptosis-related findings in MDA-MB-231 cells, with no significant viability change in MCF-7 cells. Cell-cycle effects differed by cell line,…

This case study used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess a physical therapy approach combining extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure with LED light for paranasal sinusitis. In one 39-year-old female patient, CBCT findings reportedly showed near-complete restoration of sinus…

This in vitro study examined whether 96-hour exposure to 50 Hz ELF-EMF affects expression of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV-H, HERV-K, HERV-W) in SK-MEL-37 human melanoma cells. Cells were continuously exposed at 1.5 or 3 mT and HERV env mRNA levels were measured by qPCR. The authors report significant…

This in vitro study tested an ELF-EMF at a calculated thermal resonant frequency in 2D and 3D culture models of human pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, and breast cancer. The authors report reduced cell growth and a metabolic shift, including potentiation of coupled and uncoupled respiration and altered transcription…

This in vitro study examined intermittent extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure (6 h/day) in human periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells during osteogenic differentiation. After 10 days, ELF-EMF-exposed cells showed increased proliferation and calcium deposition versus sham.…

This in vitro study evaluated short-term extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), alone and combined, for antibacterial effects and apoptosis induction in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report time-dependent reductions in bacterial viable counts, with…

This in vitro study tested continuous or pulsed ELF electromagnetic field exposure in human cancer cells treated with the anticancer agent 3-bromopyruvate (3BP). The authors report that ELF-EMF enhanced 3BP anti-cancer activity, which they link to reduced TNFα secretion, p21/p27-associated G2/M arrest, and cancer…

This double-blind randomized sham-controlled repeated-measures study examined short-term 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (28 μT) to the chest and its effects on HR and HRV in 34 healthy young men. HR deceleration occurred in both EMF and sham conditions, but several HRV indices (SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF) increased only in the EMF…
