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 in vitro study reports that a single pulsed electromagnetic field (0.2 Hz) increased expression of tenogenic genes and reduced expression of a matrix-degradation/inflammatory gene (Mmp1) in tendon cells. After 5 days of exposure (3 min/day), collagen type I and total collagen synthesis protein levels were…

This protocol describes a proof-of-concept open-label randomized controlled trial in Western Kenya assessing whether SMS reminders added to standard care improve malaria treatment adherence and day 3 post-treatment review attendance. Caregivers of children under five with uncomplicated malaria will be randomized to…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated sinusoidal electromagnetic field (SEMF) exposure combined with VEGF in rat mesenchymal stem cells and in a rat cranial defect model using rBMSC-laden PCL/HA scaffolds. The authors report increased osteogenic and endothelial marker expression with SEMF and VEGF, with a slight…

This laboratory study examined how electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment affects biochemical and antioxidant-related components in tea samples, including flavonoid markers measured by HPLC. The abstract reports that 30-minute exposures generally increased several flavonoids compared with 60-minute exposures, with the…

This study evaluated whether adding therapeutic extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) treatment to a rehabilitation program affects inflammatory cytokine activity in post-stroke patients. Following ELF-EMF treatment, IL-1β plasma levels and IL-1β mRNA expression increased, and IL-2 plasma levels…

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 paper discusses the legal context for environmental EMF measurements and describes methods for estimating EMF intensity from multiple sources, particularly cellular base stations. It presents an engineering concept for mobile EMF monitoring and reports verification testing of the measurement setup. Field…

This study tested pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic fields (up to 10,000 Hz; max 21 mT) as a potential alternative sanitation approach for poultry drinking water systems. LF-EMF exposure was linked to variable changes in culturable bacterial counts, with direction depending on system type and some early…

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 study assessed pre-sowing sunflower seed treatments using vacuum, 5.28 MHz radio-frequency cold plasma, and an electromagnetic field for varying durations. The authors report faster germination with cold plasma (7 min) and EMF (15 min), while germination percentage was mostly unchanged except for a decrease…

This animal study tested whether 50 Hz EMF exposure and/or CoQ10 could protect against TMT-induced hippocampal injury in mature female mice. CoQ10 and CoQ10+EMF were associated with improved spatial memory and reduced histological markers of cell death, alongside increased antiapoptotic markers. EMF alone reportedly…
