This review discusses preclinical studies suggesting non-ionizing EMF exposures can produce beneficial biological effects, while noting ongoing controversy about mechanisms. It reports evidence of EMF-associated conformational changes in intrinsically disordered proteins relevant to neurodegeneration and describes RF exposure conditions that activate proteostasis and autophagy in cell and animal models. The authors propose a quantum-biophysical framework involving the water-protein interface and suggest potential human applications within regulatory safety thresholds.
From particulates to pathways: environmental exposures and their impact on Alzheimer's disease
This review discusses how environmental exposures across air, water, and soil pollutants may influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) onset and progression. It highlights EMFs as a potential aggravating factor, reporting associations with oxidative stress, inflammation, calcium dysregulation, and accelerated amyloid-beta plaque accumulation in animal and human studies. The authors emphasize risk reduction strategies and call for further research and public health interventions.
Earth's magnetic field and its relationship to the origin of life, evolution and planetary habitability
This review synthesizes evidence on Earth's geomagnetic field history and discusses how early establishment of the field (at least 4.2 billion years ago, inferred from zircon magnetism) may have supported planetary habitability via radiation shielding and water preservation. It highlights a proposed near-collapse of the dynamo near the end of the Precambrian and subsequent renewal in the earliest Cambrian, with potential implications for atmospheric escape and oxygenation. The paper frames several links to biological evolution (including Ediacara fauna) as possible and in some cases debated.
