Jan 1, 2025
This cross-sectional epidemiologic study enrolled 100 employees of an electricity company to assess whether occupational low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure is associated with cataract development. Cataract frequency was higher in exposed versus non-exposed groups, and nuclear opacity grading differed…

Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) polarity and directional migration at wound edges. EMF-treated cells showed increased asymmetric redistribution of the polarity marker β-COP and altered γ-tubulin localization at wound margins. The…

Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation modulates inflammatory signaling in neuronal and microglial cell lines after induction of a pro-inflammatory state with TNF-α. The authors report reduced transcriptional expression of inflammatory target genes at 24 and 48…

Jan 1, 2022
This in vitro study examined how low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMF) at different magnetic flux densities influence skeletal myogenesis in C2C12 cells. The authors report that 2.0 mT LF-EMF activated cells and increased PAX7, while 1.5 mT increased MyoD and myogenin expression. They conclude that different…

Jan 1, 2021
This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure affects viability of human oral mucosa keratinocytes. Apoptosis (early/late) and necrosis were measured by flow cytometry, including conditions with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or minocycline. The authors report that LF-EMF, alone…
Low-frequency electromagnetic fields promote hair follicles regeneration by injection a mixture of epidermal stem cells and dermal papilla cells.
