200-ns pulsed electric fields induced ASC aggregation, caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β release in multiple murine innate immune cell types and in vivo in mouse skin. Potassium efflux was partially responsible for inflammasome activation, and experiments with …
Endometrial slices exposed in vitro to 50 Hz ELF-EMF for 2 hours showed changes in DNMT1 and DNMT3a abundance, EZH2 mRNA and protein, EED and SUZ12 mRNA, global DNA methylation level, HDAC activity, and proteins involved in microRNA biogenesis. The authors co…
In male Balb/c mice, 30 days of 2100 MHz EMF exposure (120 min/day) did not significantly affect Purkinje cell size, but significantly reduced astrocyte diameter and increased GFAP expression versus controls (p<0.05). Crocin (50 mg/kg) in the EMF+crocin group…
In postnatal day 28 mice exposed to 1850 MHz RF-EMF at 4.0 W/kg, daily exposure for 4 weeks was associated with reduced mushroom-shaped dendritic spines in the prefrontal cortex and altered spatial learning and memory in the Morris water maze. Over 9 days, RF…
Zebrafish embryos exposed to 900 MHz RF-EMF (30 or 60 min/day) showed decreased mRNA transcript abundance of lepa, ins, and pparg, decreased SOD and acetylcholine esterase activities, and increased LPO, NO, and GST. Locomotor activity increased in the EMF-30 …
Mothers of CAKUT cases reported longer daily call time than controls (p=0.001). Higher effective SAR values (SAR × call time) were associated with increased CAKUT risk (p=0.03), while phone proximity to the body when not in use was not a risk factor. Excess w…
Adult male C57BL/6 mice exposed whole-body to 4.9 GHz RF for 3 weeks (1 h/day, 50 W/m2) showed altered intestinal microbial composition, including reduced microbial diversity and changed community distribution. Metabolomics identified 258 significantly differ…
This systematic review of human observational studies with dose-response meta-analysis reports evidence of an association between radiofrequency EMF exposure and adverse male fertility parameters, including decreased sperm quality, motility, and viability. Th…
This systematic review and meta-analysis reports significantly elevated risks for three types of brain tumors when analyses focused on tumors occurring on the same side of the head where the phone was used. It also reports that heavy and long-term cell phone …
This letter critiques a WHO-sponsored systematic review (Karipidis et al., 2024) on RF-EMF exposure and cancer risk, arguing that the review contains serious methodological and interpretative flaws. The authors report deficiencies in study selection and data …
Repeated exposure to monochromatic pulsed electromagnetic fields (2.27–2.78 GHz; average power flux density 60 μW/cm²; doses 0.086–0.86 J/g) produced cumulative biological effects in mice, described as a “stress-like” adaptive reaction reflected by changes in…
Forty fertilized chick eggs were randomized to mobile-phone RF exposure (1800 MHz; within 16.5 cm; 50 min/day) or control. Exposed embryos showed mitochondrial abnormalities/damage in liver, brain, and heart tissues on electron microscopy, and increased HSP70…
Compared with controls, embryos exposed to mobile phone electromagnetic waves showed fewer and smaller cerebral neurons with unclear nuclear margins, shrinkage and signs of apoptosis, and a denser extracellular matrix. Exposed embryos also showed reduced Purk…
Individuals carrying a phone below the waist were four times more likely to develop early-onset colorectal cancer. Ipsilateral carrying on the left side for more than 30,000 hours was associated with a 12-fold increased risk of tumor on that side. Contralater…
This theoretical review examines whether anthropogenic radiofrequency radiation from military and meteorological radars could contribute to some mass cetacean strandings with unknown causes. The authors report observing spatial and temporal patterns in strand…
Among 85 industrial workers, ELF-MF exposure was reported during both working and sleeping times (0.19 ± 0.38 and 0.17 ± 0.23 μT; p < 0.05). Long-term exposure was associated with a significant difference in systolic blood pressure (125.61 ± 9.60 mm Hg; p < 0…
In this rat study, exposure to a 0.9 GHz EMF for 1 hour/day over postnatal days 21–45 was associated with increased kidney tissue volume and weight and increased total body weight. The exposed group showed increases in lipid peroxidation, glutathione, catalas…
Microscopic examination showed follicular degeneration in ovaries from both EMR-exposed groups (stand-by and dialing). Beclin-1 and Caspase-3 immunoexpression increased significantly in the dialing group versus the other groups, and iNOS and FSH expression in…
Female rats were exposed to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation for 2 hours daily throughout pregnancy. Prenatal exposure was associated with significant changes in numbers of proliferating and dying cells in the RMS and dentate gyrus, attenuation of nitrergic neuro…
EMI measured around 30 BTS ranged from 2–6500 mW/m2 in summer and 1.5–5000 mW/m2 in winter, with higher values in summer. The abstract reports that about 93% of samples exceeded WHO standards and that EMI decreased with increasing distance from BTS. Negative …
