This laboratory study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects wheat seed germination and early seedling development. Seeds exposed to 10 Hz, 7.5 mT EMF (5 h over 3 days) reportedly germinated earlier and showed higher biomass than untreated controls. The abstract also reports increased total…

Jan 1, 2024
This in vitro study tested whether daily exposure to a 10 mT ELF electromagnetic field, combined with miR-16 and miR-451 transfection, could enhance trans-differentiation of human dermal fibroblasts toward erythroid-like progenitors. The authors report increased erythroid-like differentiation with ELF-EMF exposure,…

Jan 1, 2024
This study assessed pre-sowing treatment of saffron corms with cold plasma, vacuum, and an electromagnetic field (5 min) and measured effects on sprouting, growth, and stigma metabolites. EMF treatment did not affect corm viability and showed neutral or slightly positive growth effects, including increased flower…
CaATPase enzyme activities and lipid and protein oxidations of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) stored at 4 °C for 30 min under electromagnetic fields.

Jan 1, 2023
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…

Jan 1, 2019
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…
Global gene expression changes reflecting pleiotropic effects of Irpex lacteus induced by low--intensity electromagnetic field.

Jan 1, 2019
This laboratory study used RNA-seq to examine how low-intensity electromagnetic field (LI-EMF) exposure affects global gene expression in the fungus Irpex lacteus. Thousands of differentially expressed genes were reported immediately after exposure, with fewer changes after 3 h and 6 h recovery, and a subset of genes…

Jan 1, 2018
This study evaluated whether adding extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) therapy to standard post-stroke rehabilitation affects biomarkers of neuroplasticity and functional recovery. Forty-eight patients completed the same rehabilitation program, with the study group additionally receiving 10…
The effect of exposure to low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) as an integral part of the housing system on anxiety-related behaviour, cognition and welfare in two strains of laboratory mouse.
