View Original AbstractThis study found no DNA damage from high-level 872 MHz radiation in brain cells, adding to mixed scientific evidence on cellular effects.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human brain cells to 872 MHz radiation (similar to older cell phone signals) at high levels for up to 3 hours, looking for DNA damage and cellular stress. They found no effects from the radiation exposure, even when combined with iron chloride, a chemical known to cause cellular damage. This suggests that at these specific conditions, the radiofrequency radiation did not harm the brain cells or their DNA.
Study Details
The aim of the present study was to investigate possible cooperative effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation and ferrous chloride (FeCl2) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage.
In order to test intracellular ROS production as a possible underlying mechanism of DNA damage, we a...
The chemical treatments resulted in statistically significant responses, but no effects from either ...
