This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters responses of TNF-α-stimulated human microglial cells (HMC3). Cells exposed to 2.5 or 5 Hz EMF for 3 minutes showed increased survival under high TNF-α conditions and reduced migration compared with TNF-α treatment alone. EMF also…

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…

This in vitro study examined how extremely low frequency EMF affects adipose-derived stem cell proliferation, cell cycle, viability, and death using fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. Under continuous exposure at 76.6 Hz and 20 T (ICR-based parameters), the authors report a statistically significant increase…

This in vitro and animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure (1 mT, 45 Hz, 8 h/day) combined with Fe-based nanomagnetic particles enhances osteogenesis. The authors report no detectable cytotoxicity and increased osteogenic markers/proteins with combined NMP + EMF exposure, alongside…

This in vitro study exposed human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to extremely low frequency EMF (7.5–70 Hz, 1 mT) generated by Helmholtz coils. The authors report increased MSC migration across all tested frequencies. Mechanistically, the effect is described as dependent on intracellular calcium and…

This animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects bone loss in a levothyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism rat model. Rats exposed to 15 Hz/1 mT EMF plus levothyroxine showed improved bone mineral density, mechanical measures, and partially restored trabecular bone architecture compared…

This in vitro study evaluated combined effects of extremely low frequency EMF (50 Hz, 20 mT) and nitric oxide (NO) on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report reduced viability and morphology changes with high NO in the presence of EMF, along with increased calcium ion entry. They also report…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters MCP-1 expression in several human cell lines. Cells were exposed to a 50 Hz sinusoidal field at 1 mT (rms), and the authors report that MCP-1 expression was modified in a cell-type-dependent manner. The findings are described as…
