Effects of radiofrequency exposure emitted from a GSM mobile phone on proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of neural stem cells.
This in vitro study evaluated adult murine neural stem cells exposed to GSM 900-MHz radiofrequency emissions from a mobile phone across different exposure durations. The authors report significant decreases in neurosphere number/size and neuronal differentiation with increasing exposure duration. They report no changes in cell viability, apoptosis, or astrocytic differentiation under the tested conditions.
Key points
- In vitro experiments assessed proliferation, differentiation, viability, and apoptosis in adult murine NSCs after GSM 900-MHz exposure.
- Neurosphere number and size reportedly decreased significantly with increasing exposure duration.
- The percentage of NSCs differentiating into neurons reportedly decreased with increasing exposure duration.
- Cell viability measured by alamarBlue reportedly was not influenced by exposure duration.
- Apoptosis assessed via caspase 3 assay reportedly was not influenced by exposure duration.
- Astrocytic differentiation reportedly was not affected by exposure duration.
- The authors conclude that accumulating dose might have detrimental effects on NSC proliferation and neurogenesis and call for more caution in mobile device use.
