Jan 1, 2025
This animal study reports that prolonged RF-EMR exposure (2.45 GHz for 8 weeks) increased oxidative stress and ferroptosis in mouse testicular tissue and was associated with reduced sperm quality. Melatonin administration reportedly mitigated oxidative injury and inhibited ferroptosis. The abstract attributes the…

This animal proof-of-concept study describes an engineered nanoparticle–cell interface (EMPOWER) enabling wireless regulation of transgene expression using a 1-kHz magnetic field. Chitosan-coated multiferroic nanoparticles reportedly generate intracellular ROS that activates KEAP1/NRF2 biosensors connected to…

This animal study examined EMF exposure in a mouse high-fat diet model of NAFLD. The authors report that EMF exposure reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and markers of oxidative stress, alongside changes consistent with activation of CaMKKβ/AMPK and Nrf2-related signaling. The abstract concludes EMF could be a…

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…

Jan 1, 2020
This in vitro study examined 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF exposure in LPS-treated THP-1 cells for 1–24 hours. The authors report increased HO-1 expression and Nrf2-related signaling, with nuclear enrichment of HO-1 and modulation of SIRT1/NF-κB pathways. They interpret these molecular changes as suggesting a protective,…
