This animal study tested whether Ixodes ricinus ticks show behavioral responses to 900 MHz radio-frequency electromagnetic fields in a radiation-shielded tube. Ticks were attracted to the irradiated area, and the attraction was reported as stronger among ticks infected with Rickettsia spp. The authors raise the…

This animal study examined behavioural responses of American lobster and Little skate to EMF emissions from a subsea HVDC transmission cable. It reports a marked increase in exploratory/foraging behaviour in skates and a subtler exploratory response in lobsters when exposed to cable EMF. The authors also measured…

This in vitro study developed an MEA-compatible magnetic stimulation device to deliver low-frequency EMFs during hippocampal LTP experiments without interrupting induction. The authors report that sine-wave LF-EMFs applied post-induction or as priming reduced fEPSP slope during LTP maintenance, with stronger effects…

This animal study exposed the mollusk Onchidium struma to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 100 μT or 500 μT for up to one week and assessed immune-related cell counts, enzyme activities, and transcriptomic changes. The 100 μT group showed increased total coelomocyte and spherulocyte density versus control and 500 μT, while some cell…

This rat study examined 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (1–2000 μT) for 60 days and measured Th-related gene expression and cytokines in an HSA-stimulated immune model. Splenic T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA expression decreased at 1 and 100 μT. Serum IFN-γ and IL-4 were significantly decreased in the 100 μT group only before HSA…

This in vitro study examined whether RF electromagnetic fields (900, 2400, 7500 MHz) modify the toxicity of silver and graphene nanoparticles in human fibroblast cultures. The authors report EMF-associated changes in cytotoxicity and ROS that depended on nanoparticle type, shape, and concentration, with the strongest…

This in vitro study examined 60 Hz extremely low-frequency EMF exposure (0.8 mT) on CD4 T cells under Th9-polarizing conditions. The authors report increased Th9-associated responses including IL-9 secretion, transcription factor changes (including early GATA3), and increased STAT5/STAT6 phosphorylation alongside…

This review discusses the controversial evidence on mobile phone RF-EMF exposure and brain cancer. The authors argue that exposure magnitude may be a key factor contributing to inconsistent findings. They discuss evidence supporting a nonlinear J-shaped dose-response relationship for RF-EMF-related carcinogenesis.

In a worker sample undergoing 24-hour ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, higher self-reported daily mobile phone use (>60 minutes) was associated with higher systolic blood pressure in office measurement and at night. Higher occupational stress was associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood…

This geo-epidemiological population-based study in Limousin (France) assessed modeled residential UHF-EMF exposure from GSM antennas and ALS incidence from 2000–2012. The authors report a statistically significant exposure–response trend and higher ALS risk in the highest exposure category versus non-exposure in both…

This preliminary cross-sectional study of 200 women working in healthcare and trade assessed associations between wireless-system EMF exposures and emotional disorders. The authors report that GSM 900/1800 base-station exposure contributed to depressive disorders among medical personnel, while WLAN exposure was…

This laboratory study exposed a Geobacter sulfurreducens-inoculated bioelectrochemical system to 0–128 Gauss extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields. The authors report increased and oscillatory metabolic current under ELF-EMF exposure, with dose-dependent effects and a linear relationship between oscillation…
