This in vitro study tested whether 5G-modulated 3.5 GHz RF-EMF exposure affects oxidative stress and DNA repair in human skin cells. Under acute exposure conditions (up to 24–48h) at SARs up to 4 W/kg, the authors report no significant changes in ROS markers, no adaptive response to oxidative challenge, and no…

This in vitro study exposed human fibroblasts and prostate cancer cells to 2.5 GHz RF-EMF for 24, 48, and 72 hours and assessed viability and morphology. The authors report decreased viability in fibroblasts and increased viability in prostate cancer cells after exposure, while morphology showed no significant…

This in vitro study examined whether RF electromagnetic fields (900, 2400, 7500 MHz) modify the toxicity of silver and graphene nanoparticles in human fibroblast cultures. The authors report EMF-associated changes in cytotoxicity and ROS that depended on nanoparticle type, shape, and concentration, with the strongest…

This in vitro study exposed human fetal and adult fibroblasts to 25 GHz microwave radiation and assessed multiple genotoxic and cellular endpoints. The authors report no evidence of direct DNA damage and no apoptosis or changes in prosurvival signalling proteins. However, they report increased total and…

This in vitro study used proteome-wide semi-quantitative mass spectrometry to assess molecular changes after short-term exposure to ELF (50 Hz), UMTS (2.1 GHz), and WiFi (5.8 GHz) in human and mouse cell types. The authors report that fewer than 1% of quantified proteins changed slightly in abundance and that…

Jan 1, 2007
This in vitro study examined whether continuous extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (3 Hz, 4 mT for 3 hours) alter protein expression in human fibroblast cells using proteomics. The authors report that some protein expressions differed between exposed and sham cells. They identify reduced expression (about…
