This animal study assessed whether 3.6 GHz RF-EMF exposure affects behaviour and reproduction in adult Drosophila melanogaster, using micro-CT-based digital-twin dosimetry and numerical simulations. It reports no significant changes in locomotor activity after 5 days at 5.4–9 V/m and no effect on fecundity over 48…

This pilot animal study exposed zebrafish embryos to 900 MHz RF-EMF for 30 or 60 minutes per day until 96 hours post-fertilization and assessed gene expression and physiological endpoints. The authors report reduced expression of lepa, ins, and pparg, changes in oxidative stress markers consistent with increased…

This animal study exposed 14-month-old C57BL/6 mice to 1950 MHz RF-EMF (SAR 5 W/kg) for 8 months. The authors report that aging was associated with increased oxidative damage, DNA damage, apoptosis, and glial activation markers in brain tissue. Long-term RF-EMF exposure did not change these markers in aged mice and…
