A laboratory experiment exposed embryos of three benthic egg-laying marine species to realistic electromagnetic fields generated by an alternating-current subsea power cable set-up (magnetic field 4–6 μT). Subtle effects were reported for Scyliorhinus canicula and Loligo vulgaris, including faster growth and…

This narrative review discusses bioelectricity arising from membrane potentials and its role in morphogenesis beyond neural tissues. It reports that evidence supports bioelectric signals influencing embryonic development, tissue repair, and disease-related processes, and summarizes cellular mechanisms for generating…

This animal study examined thornback ray embryos chronically exposed to alternating-current electromagnetic fields (1.8–4.6 μT) across embryogenesis (~20 weeks), relevant to subsea power cables. Exposed embryos showed higher activity levels than non-exposed embryos, while no differences were reported for development…
Effect of a 1800 MHz electromagnetic field emitted during embryogenesis on chick development and hatchability.

Jan 1, 2018
This animal study examined 1800 MHz EMF exposure during chick embryogenesis and assessed development, malformations, organ measures, and stress-related biomarkers. The authors report earlier pipping and hatching without an increase in malformations or changes in chick quantity/quality. They also report decreased…
