This animal and in vitro study examined whether nanosecond pulsed electric fields (200-ns pulses) activate inflammasome signaling after electroporative damage. The authors report ASC aggregation, caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β release in murine macrophages, dendritic cells, and mouse skin in vivo. They also report…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (a complex multiple waveform field and a 50 Hz sine wave) alter inflammatory gene and protein responses in human immune cells. Across time course experiments in THP-1 cells and primary monocytes/macrophages, the authors report no significant…
