Study Details

To study whether prolonged exposure to 900 MHz GSM modulated electromagnetic fields affects viability and vulnerability of neural cell cultures

In this work we tested viability, proliferation, and vulnerability of neural cells, after continuous...

Exposure to RF did not change viability/proliferation rate of the SN56 cholinergic cells or viabilit...

These data suggest that only under particular circumstances exposure to GSM modulated, 900 MHz signal act as a co‐stressor for oxidative damage of neural cells
