Cell phone radiation altered brain gene expression in developing mice, showing biological effects even when cell death wasn't triggered.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed pregnant mice and their offspring to cell phone radiation at 900 and 1800 MHz frequencies, then examined how this affected genes related to cell death and DNA repair in the brain's cerebellum. They found that the radiation did not trigger cell death pathways but did alter expression of genes involved in DNA repair. The authors concluded that while cell phone radiation may cause some cellular changes, the brain appears capable of repairing any damage through normal cellular mechanisms.

Study Details

We examined the effect of mobile phones radiation on genes expression variation on cerebellum of BALB/c mice before and after of the birth.

In this study, a mobile phone jammer, which is an instrument to prevent receiving signals between ce...

The data showed that mobile phone radio waves were ineffective on the expression level of bcl-2 and ...

From the obtained data it could be concluded that the mobile phone radiations did not induce apoptosis in cells of the cerebellum and the injured cells can be repaired by cell cycle arrest.
