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 study evaluated whether seed treatment with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field can alter antioxidant capacity in Norway spruce seedlings across ten half-sib families. The abstract reports that responses varied substantially by genetic family and seedling age, with some families showing increased antioxidant…

This engineering/simulation study proposes a bone-inclusive ASTM phantom to improve assessment of RF power deposition near orthopaedic implants during 1.5 T and 3 T MRI. Using numerical simulations across multiple implant families, the authors report better correlation of peak 1 g SAR near implants with anatomically…

This engineering study describes and simulates a helmet radio-frequency phased array applicator for Thermal Magnetic Resonance (ThermalMR), which combines MRI with targeted RF heating. Using EMF and temperature simulations in a phantom and human head model (including a modeled glioblastoma tumor volume), the authors…

This in vitro study exposed three ccRCC cell lines and a healthy kidney cell line (HEK293) to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 4.5 mT for 30 minutes daily over 5 days. The authors report exposure-associated changes in expression of several genes (names not fully visible in the abstract), with differences between primary…

This review discusses repeated electromagnetic field stimulation (REMFS) as a potential non-invasive therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The abstract describes reported benefits in AD mice, including reduced beta-amyloid, prevention of neuronal death, halted disease progression, and improved memory without edema or…

This study evaluated 12 mT electromagnetic fields (100–400 Hz) applied during 30 minutes of cold storage (4 °C) of grass carp. EMF exposure was associated with increased CaATPase activity and frequency-dependent changes in protein and lipid oxidation. NMR results suggested altered water–protein interactions, and the…

This engineering study used electromagnetic field-assisted laser cladding to produce Norem02 iron-based cemented carbide coatings on 304 stainless steel and evaluated microstructure and mechanical-related properties. The abstract reports no change in phase composition but notable microstructural refinement and…

This paper reviews literature from 1980–2023 on the role of electromagnetic fields as a therapy for traumatic brain injury and brain neuropathology. It reports that existing findings suggest electromagnetic therapy may be a promising non-invasive treatment approach. The authors emphasize that current evidence is…

This paper presents the protocol for the EMAGINE multicenter, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial testing an extremely low-frequency, low-intensity, frequency-tuned electromagnetic field therapy (ENTF) after subacute ischemic stroke. Participants will start active or sham treatment 4–21 days post-stroke,…

This feasibility study reports numerical modeling and HFSS simulations of a portable meander line antenna intended to deliver repeated electromagnetic field stimulation at 64 MHz for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment. Using two numerical head phantoms, the authors simulated E/H fields and SAR with a 50-W input…

This paper reports a PubMed and Google Scholar-based review of EMF research related to brain pathology, with emphasis on ischemic and traumatic brain injury. It provides a critical overview of the state of the art and describes the authors’ experimental and ongoing studies. The authors conclude that EMF applications…

This in vitro study assessed 50 Hz, 100 G extremely low-frequency EMF in combination with temozolomide and radiation in T98 glioblastoma cells grown as monolayers and spheroids. Radiation plus EMF increased apoptosis-related gene expression, while temozolomide plus EMF increased autophagy marker expression compared…

This in vitro study examined whether a low-frequency EMF (30 mT, 7 Hz for 3 h) alters phagocytosis of latex beads and immune-related protein/gene expression in the human Mono Mac 6 macrophage cell line. The authors report that EMF exposure influenced phagocytosis-associated molecular markers, with notable changes in…

This study evaluated whether a lightweight Mu-metal and copper mesh shielded helmet with EMF channels could reduce external electromagnetic interference enough to measure cortically generated EMF using non-contact induction sensors without a shielded room. In five volunteers performing motor, verbalization, and…
