Effects of Pulsed 2.856 GHz Microwave Exposure on BM-MSCs Isolated from C57BL/6 Mice.

This study reveals a concerning pattern we see repeatedly in EMF research: effects at the genetic level that occur without obvious cellular damage. The 4 W/kg exposure level used here is significant - it's twice the current SAR limit for cell phones in the United States (2 W/kg) and four times the European limit (2 W/kg). What makes this particularly important is that bone marrow stem cells are responsible for creating new bone tissue throughout your life. The reduced expression of bone-forming genes suggests that microwave exposure could potentially interfere with bone health and repair processes. The researchers themselves noted these were 'undefined adverse effects,' acknowledging that genetic changes in stem cells could have long-term consequences we don't yet fully understand. This adds to the growing body of evidence that current safety standards, which only consider heating effects, may not adequately protect against biological impacts occurring at the cellular and genetic levels.
