This in vitro study exposed human mesenchymal stem cell pellets undergoing chondrogenesis to simulated microgravity (SMG), low-frequency EMF (5 mT, 15 Hz), or both for 3 weeks. SMG significantly changed gene expression and reduced chondrogenic marker expression (including COL2A1). LF-EMF alone…

Evaluation of effect of high frequency electromagnetic field on growth and antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This in vitro study evaluated whether high-frequency electromagnetic fields at 900 and 1800 MHz affect bacterial DNA, growth, and antibiotic susceptibility after 2 hours of exposure. The authors report no detectable DNA differences between exposed and non-exposed bacteria for the species…

Acute exposure to high-induction electromagnetic field affects activity of model peripheral sensory neurons.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This in vitro study examined acute low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure using high-induction magnetic stimulation in F11 cells, a dorsal root ganglia neuron-derived model of peripheral sensory neurons. Short-term exposure (

Association between media coverage and prevalence of idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic field in Taiwan.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL LOW

This ecological study examined whether trends in newspaper coverage about EMF/IEI-EMF in Taiwan were associated with changes in reported IEI-EMF prevalence. The authors report that media coverage rose up to 2007 and then declined through 2012, mirroring a decline in IEI-EMF prevalence between 2007…

Modulation of antioxidant enzyme gene expression by extremely low frequency electromagnetic field in post-stroke patients.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 REASSURANCE MEDIUM

This study evaluated whether adding extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) therapy to standard physical therapy modulates antioxidant gene expression in post-stroke patients. Forty-eight patients were split into an ELF-EMF group and a non-ELF-EMF group, with both groups receiving…

Assessment of an anti-scale low-frequency electromagnetic field device on drinking water biofilms.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 REASSURANCE MEDIUM

This laboratory study tested a low-intensity very low-frequency EMF anti-scale device for potential impacts on drinking water biofilms in flow-through reactors. Across soft and hard water and for nascent and mature biofilms, the EMF exposure did not significantly change biofilm cell numbers, cell…

Defining the Work Done on an Electromagnetic Field.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 NEUTRAL UNKNOWN

This theoretical paper addresses how to define work done on an electromagnetic field by moving charges when the standard Hamiltonian is not gauge invariant. It reports a new gauge-invariant Hamiltonian expressed in terms of physical observables, which the authors say allows defining work and…

Electromagnetic Fields of Mobile Phone Jammer Exposure on Blood Factors in Rats.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018 CONCERN MEDIUM

This rat study examined whether electromagnetic fields from a mobile phone jammer affect blood cell factors. Rats were exposed 8 hours/day, 5 days/week for 40 days and compared with control and sham groups. The authors report significant changes in multiple hematological indices, with some…
