View Original AbstractMobile phone-level radiation altered cellular absorption processes in real time, suggesting biological responses occur even without immediate cell damage.
Plain English Summary
French researchers developed a special microscope system to watch living cells in real time while exposing them to mobile phone-like electromagnetic fields at 900 MHz. They found that one hour of exposure at levels similar to heavy cell phone use increased the rate at which cells absorbed materials from their environment (endocytosis), but didn't affect cell division timing or duration. This study is significant because it's one of the few to directly observe cellular changes as they happen during EMF exposure.
