The commentary argues that Japanese and Korean follow-up studies used fewer animals, one RFR exposure group, and a lower exposure level than the NTP study, resulting in reduced statistical power. The authors contend that these weaker studies should not be use…
Short microwave exposures increased germination, mitotic index, root length, and shoot length, whereas longer exposures significantly reduced germination and mitotic index and inhibited growth. Chromosomal abnormalities were observed, with the highest percent…
Across 51 studies, most systems and organs showed no or minimal evidence of RF-EMF-related cancer outcomes. Increased risks were identified with high certainty for glioma and heart schwannomas in male rats and with moderate certainty for lymphoma, pheochromoc…

The evidence was insufficient to conclude that RF-EMF is a direct-acting genotoxic carcinogen or cancer initiator, and epidemiological findings linking RF-EMF with cancer were inconsistent. Laboratory studies reported biological changes after long-term, non-t…
This systematic review included 88 rodent studies of RF-EMR exposure, with frequencies ranging from 800 to 24,000 MHz and reported SARs from 0.014 to 34 W/kg. Oxidative and reproductive alterations were reported in subsets of studies, but findings were hetero…
This narrative review reports that animal studies consistently show effects of ELF-EMF exposure on several endocrine endpoints, while human studies remain inconsistent and limited by methodological issues and insufficient exposure characterization. The review…
In a two-wave longitudinal study, psychological distress and problematic mobile phone use showed significant reciprocal prospective associations. The pathway from baseline psychological distress to later problematic mobile phone use was mediated by later posi…
In 8001 hours of measurements, voice calls occurred 2.4% of the time and data uploads 81.3%. Voice calls were associated with emission occurrence and higher emission levels, Wi-Fi connection was associated with substantially lower cellular emissions outside c…
Microwave irradiation at 2.45 GHz induced sequence-dependent changes in cellular fluorescence intensity, with (Cha-r)2-R4 showing a more pronounced increase than non-irradiated conditions while maintaining high cell viability. Colocalization analysis suggeste…
Chronic embryonic exposure to AC EMFs (1.8 and 4.6 μT) caused subtle, species-specific growth changes: shorter tail length in skates and larger pectoral fins at birth in sharks, with no behavioral impairments observed. Sharks detected EMF at higher intensitie…
No significant changes were observed in hypothalamic Kiss1 gene expression or serum kisspeptin. GnRH increased significantly in both exposed groups, while FSH and LH were unchanged. Testicular testosterone was significantly reduced in the 24 h group, and seru…
The study reports nonmonotonic dependence of superoxide concentration and tissue regeneration on weak magnetic field strength in planarians. Experiments confirmed predictions of a radical pair model, with increased superoxide concentrations at hypomagnetic an…
Compared with geomagnetic field conditions, hypomagnetic fields extended egg-to-adult and pupa developmental durations in both control and frataxin-deficient flies. HMF significantly increased offspring fecundity in frataxin-silenced flies but not controls, h…
This review states that non-chemical environmental endocrine stressors, including electromagnetic fields, can disrupt endocrine homeostasis and affect neuroendocrine function, signaling pathways, oxidative stress responses, and circadian rhythms. It also note…
In a convenience sample of 1842 Chinese college students, smartphone addiction and sleep disorder symptoms formed a structurally stable comorbidity network. Sleep latency, difficulty concentrating, and impatience without phone were identified as core symptoms…
In RAW 264.7 macrophages, 2.45 GHz RF-EMF at subthermal SARs altered lysosomal and mitochondrial activity, nitrite production, and cell death patterns in the presence of LPS and/or SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Effects were time- and stimulus-dependent, including…
This systematic review of 55 studies reported that EMF exposure can affect circadian-related molecular and physiological pathways, including clock gene expression, melatonin, cellular signaling, and sleep architecture. The strongest evidence was for melatonin…
In mice exposed to 2.45 GHz electromagnetic fields at a whole-body average SAR of 15 W/kg for 5 months, no measurable adverse effects were reported for core physiological parameters, sperm functional integrity, immune cell populations, or hematopoietic compet…
In this preliminary cohort analysis, overall cancer incidence was slightly below that expected from national rates (Observed 39, SRR 93). The only statistically significant finding was an excess of non-melanoma skin cancer (Observed 25, SRR 177, 95% CI 117 to…
In experiments using cell cultures, tissue homogenates, and isolated mitochondria, the authors found no evidence that PEMF restores mitochondrial respiration inhibited by nitric oxide. PEMF selectively stimulated respiration linked to ATP synthesis, with less…
