This rat study examined acute (1-week) and chronic (10-week) exposure to 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation (3G UMTS-like) and assessed auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) alongside biochemical and histological brain measures. The abstract reports that acute exposure was associated with reduced MMN-related electrophysiological parameters and changes in GluR2 and GFAP with observed brain ultrastructural alterations. Chronic exposure showed opposite protein trends and enhanced MMN parameters versus chronic controls, and lipid peroxidation was not significantly different.
Pilot questionnaire survey shows the lack of diagnostic criteria for electromagnetic hypersensitivity: a viewpoint
This viewpoint reports results from a pilot questionnaire survey of 142 self-declared EHS/IEI-EMF individuals and argues that current evidence and tools do not allow a definitive medical diagnosis of sensitivity to low-level wireless radiation. It notes that many reported diagnoses appear anecdotal and that tests used lack scientific proof for detecting such sensitivity. The article also considers individual sensitivity plausible and calls for controlled provocation and biochemical studies to develop diagnostic biomarkers.
The effects of short-term and long-term 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation on adult rat auditory brainstem response
This animal study examined 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation exposure effects on auditory brainstem responses and brain oxidative/ultrastructural markers in adult rats. The 1-week exposure group showed prolonged ABR latencies and biochemical/structural changes consistent with oxidative stress and cellular injury. The authors report no harmful effects in the 10-week exposure condition with rest days under the studied protocol.
Magneto-oncology: a radical pair primer
This mini-review discusses the radical pair mechanism as a plausible biophysical route by which external magnetic fields could influence biochemical processes in living systems. It is intended as a primer for magneto-oncology researchers to assess whether observed magnetic-field-related biomedical effects may be explained by radical pair biochemistry. The article also notes the value of this framework for refining therapeutic protocols and for identifying potential experimental artifacts in oncology-related magnetic field research.
