Mobile phone radiation altered gene activity in some human cells but didn't trigger stress responses, showing biological effects without apparent harm.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed six different types of human cells to mobile phone frequencies (900 and 1800 MHz) and analyzed whether the radiation changed gene activity patterns. Three cell types showed no changes, while three others had small numbers of genes (12-34) that became more or less active, particularly genes involved in protein production. The changes didn't indicate cellular stress or damage responses.

Study Details

Possible biological effects of mobile phone microwaves were investigated in vitro.
