Cell phone signals showed no effect on a cancer-related enzyme in mouse cells, even at exposure levels exceeding safety limits.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed mouse cells to cell phone signals (DAMPS and GSM) for one hour to see if it would increase activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), an enzyme linked to cell growth and potentially cancer development. They found no significant changes in ODC activity at exposure levels of 2.5 and 6 W/kg, contradicting some earlier studies that reported increased enzyme activity. This suggests that under controlled temperature conditions, these specific cell phone signals may not trigger this particular cellular response.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to investigate Effects of exposure to DAMPS and GSM signals on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity: I. L-929 mouse fibroblasts.

Murine L-929 fibroblasts were exposed at various Specific Absorption rates (SAR) to (DAMPS) or Globa...

ODC activity in live L-929 cells showed no significant alteration after exposure at an SAR of 2.5 W/...

We conclude that under our exposure conditions, DAMPS-835 and GSM signals have no influence on ODC activity in L-929 cells.
