This in vitro study tested whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, 20 mT) enhance docetaxel effects in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The authors report that combining ELF-EMF with docetaxel produced a similar reduction in cell viability at a lower docetaxel concentration than docetaxel alone,…

This animal study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation as a treatment after sciatic nerve injury in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats received low-intensity (60–100 G; 6–10 mT) or high-intensity (140–200 G; 14–20 mT) EMF exposure for 2 hours/day over 4 weeks. The abstract reports improved motor/mobility…

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 in vitro study examined how a 20 mT static magnetic field and a 20 mT 50 Hz electromagnetic field affect mesenchymal stem cells under conditions involving ROS and acidic pH. The authors report increased ROS and antioxidant-response markers (Nrf2, SOD2, GST) across SMF, EMF, and combined exposures, with…

This laboratory study tested whether brief ELF-EMF seed pretreatment could enhance cadmium accumulation in white mustard seedlings. Seeds exposed to 50 Hz alternating EMF (60 or 120 mT) for 1 minute produced shoots with higher cadmium content than controls, while biomass was unchanged. The authors suggest potential…

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 a therapeutic 120 Hz pulsed EMF device (10–20 mT) in C3H mice bearing implanted murine mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Across seven treated groups, EMF exposure over 12 days was reported to suppress tumor growth, with specific dose/time regimens described as most effective. The authors also…
