This animal study examined whether 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure at two intensities (1 mT vs 7 mT) alters hippocampal gene transcripts related to neuroplasticity and cell survival in adult rats across repeated exposure cycles. The authors report intensity- and exposure-number-dependent modulation of mRNA expression, with 1…

Jan 1, 2025
This animal study exposed juvenile and young adult Wistar rats to 5G (3.5 GHz) or 2G (900 MHz) radiofrequency fields (1.5 V/m) for 1–2 weeks and measured brown adipose tissue-related gene expression by RT-qPCR. The abstract reports significant downregulation of PRDM16 and C/EBP mRNA after 5G exposure, while…

This in vitro study tested ELF-EMF exposure in U87 and U251 glioblastoma cell lines and assessed apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, cell size, and mRNA expression of cell-cycle genes. The authors report higher apoptosis induction and increased G2/M arrest in U87 compared with U251, alongside increased U87 cell size…

Jan 1, 2020
This study evaluated whether adding extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure to a rehabilitation program affects apoptosis-related gene expression in post-stroke patients. Forty-eight patients (3–4 weeks post-incident) were divided into ELF-EMF and non-ELF-EMF groups, with the ELF-EMF group…

This rat study examined 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (1–2000 μT) for 60 days and measured Th-related gene expression and cytokines in an HSA-stimulated immune model. Splenic T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA expression decreased at 1 and 100 μT. Serum IFN-γ and IL-4 were significantly decreased in the 100 μT group only before HSA…

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…

Jan 1, 2018
This study evaluated whether adding extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) therapy to standard physical therapy modulates antioxidant gene expression in post-stroke patients. Forty-eight patients were split into an ELF-EMF group and a non-ELF-EMF group, with both groups receiving the same physical…

Jan 1, 2018
This in vitro study exposed porcine endometrial and myometrial slices to extremely low-frequency EMF (50 or 120 Hz, 8 mT) for 2 or 4 hours, with or without progesterone. The authors report frequency- and time-dependent changes in oestradiol-17β secretion and CYP19A3 mRNA expression, with fewer changes when…

This in vitro study examined whether a 50-Hz, 0.50 mT intermittent electromagnetic field modifies responses to cisplatin and bleomycin in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. The authors report increased susceptibility in MCF-7 cells with EMF added to cisplatin+bleomycin, while SH-SY5Y susceptibility was unchanged. They also…
