Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro study exposed HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells for 4 days to weak extremely low frequency magnetic fields (10 μT, 12–33 Hz) superimposed on a 45 μT static field. The authors report frequency- and amplitude-dependent increases or decreases in cell growth, including sharp inversions near 16.5 Hz with…
Magnetosensitivity of tightly bound radical pairs in cryptochrome is enabled by the quantum Zeno effect

Dec 30, 2024
This paper examines the radical pair mechanism in cryptochrome, focusing on the tightly bound FAD–superoxide radical pair. It reports that, contrary to traditional expectations, such a closely bound radical pair can show sensitivity to Earth-strength magnetic fields if recombination is strongly asymmetric, invoking…
Spinning magnetic field patterns that cause oncolysis by oxidative stress in glioma cells

Nov 7, 2023
This in vitro study characterized spinning oscillating magnetic field (sOMF) stimulation patterns that the authors report can induce cytotoxicity in two types of human glioma cells. The reported effect was linked to a critical rise in superoxide, and was reversed by the antioxidant Trolox, suggesting ROS involvement.…

Jan 1, 2020
This study evaluated extremely low, time-varying EMF “magneto-priming” to optimize germination in foxtail millet seeds using a central composite design and response surface methodology. The authors report optimal germination at 10 Hz, 30,007 nT, and 30 minutes, with improvements in germination percentage and multiple…

This experimental study examined whether 2100 MHz cell phone-related RF-EMF exposure affects oxidative stress markers in onion roots. After 1–4 hours of continuous-wave exposure in a single day, the study reports increased lipid peroxidation and ROS-related measures (MDA, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion).…
Extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) reduces oxidative stress and improves functional and psychological status in ischemic stroke patients.

Jan 1, 2017
This clinical study evaluated whether adding ELF-EMF exposure to a 4-week rehabilitation program affects antioxidant and clinical status in ischemic stroke patients. Fifty-seven patients were assigned to an ELF-EMF group or a non-ELF-EMF group, with the exposed group receiving 40 Hz, 7 mT for 15 minutes per day over…
Disordered redox metabolism of brain cells in rats exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation or UHF electromagnetic radiation.

Jan 1, 2016
This animal study assessed redox-state changes in rat brain cells after long-term low-intensity ionizing radiation exposure or fractionated non-thermal UHF electromagnetic radiation. Both exposures were associated with decreased ubisemiquinone and increased NO-FeS-protein complexes, alongside increased mitochondrial…
[Effects of 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field on Ca2+ release channel ryanodine receptor of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles].

Jan 1, 2009
This in vitro study examined whether a 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field affects the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel RyR1. A 0.4 mT exposure for 30 minutes increased SR Ca2+ release rate and [(3)H]-ryanodine binding under NADH/NAD+ conditions. The authors also report increased NADH oxidation and…
