This in vitro study tested 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF exposure (8 h/day for 21 days) and betaine (10 mM) during osteogenic induction of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The authors report ELF-EMF decreased osteogenic differentiation and reduced RUNX2 and OCN gene expression compared with…

This animal study examined whether 8 weeks of EMF exposure affects insulin resistance and fatty liver features in db/db mice. The authors report improvements in insulin resistance markers, hepatic redox balance, and steatosis-related outcomes after EMF exposure. They also report reduced liver…

This prospective comparative study randomized 51 adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain into HILT, pulsed EMF, or control groups for 8 weeks of treatment (twice weekly). Both HILT and EMF groups showed improvements in pain, disability, and lumbar flexion range of motion after the…

This in vitro study tested how varying ELF-EMF parameters (frequency, flux density, duration, and continuous vs switching exposure) affect breast cancer and normal breast epithelial cell lines. The authors report that an optimized switching exposure pattern (7.83 ± 0.3 Hz, 1 mT) reduced viability…

This in vitro and rat-model study evaluated sinusoidal low-frequency EMF combined with a PCL/nHA scaffold seeded with BMSCs for intervertebral fusion. The authors report enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and pro-osteogenic effects of conditioned medium from EMF-treated BMSCs, with…

This review discusses mandatory health surveillance for EMF-exposed workers under EU Directive 2013/35/EU, which focuses on preventing known direct biophysical and indirect effects. It notes that long-term effects are not covered because evidence for a causal relationship is considered inadequate.…

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…

This pooled case series evaluated amplitude-modulated 27.12 MHz RF EMF delivered via the TheraBionic P1 device (3 hours daily) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, comparing outcomes to historical controls. The authors report longer median overall survival for Child-Pugh A patients…

This animal study evaluated whether ELF-EMF exposure affects recovery-related outcomes after cerebral ischemia in rats. Rats exposed to 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF for 2 hours daily over 28 days showed better Morris water maze performance than untreated rats. The study also reports increased hippocampal…

This in vitro and animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure (1 mT, 45 Hz, 8 h/day) combined with Fe-based nanomagnetic particles enhances osteogenesis. The authors report no detectable cytotoxicity and increased osteogenic markers/proteins with combined NMP + EMF…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether adding a smartphone-based app to routine care improves quality of life in hospitalized patients with heart failure. Over 3 months, the app group reported significantly better quality-of-life scores than the control group on the Minnesota Living…

This article reviews Italian jurisprudence on alleged occupational tumours linked to RF EMF exposure (notably from wireless phones), with some cases also involving other RF sources or ELF magnetic fields. It contrasts court decisions that recognized occupational causation with others that rejected…

This narrative review synthesizes evidence up to September 2019 on health risks from radiofrequency exposure emitted by mobile phones, in the context of IARC's 2013 Group 2B classification. The authors report that the literature does not show a clear risk profile and cannot definitively confirm or…

This report discusses elements of new AIRM (Italian Association of Medical Radiation Protection) guidelines for health surveillance of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields. It focuses on identifying which workers should undergo surveillance and what surveillance should include. The approach…

This in vitro experimental study exposed two Lactobacillus probiotic cultures to 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi RF-EMF from a router for 15–60 minutes and compared them with sham-exposed controls. The authors report increased bacterial growth after 30–60 minutes of exposure, with no growth difference at 15…

This modeling study estimated SAR in a multi-layer head model from a wearable IoT device’s Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth antenna. SAR was reported to be up to 10× higher when the antenna was placed in a headband versus on a helmet. The authors suggest that devices emitting below 3 mW EIRP may be considered…
