Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mouse cells to cellular phone radiation at 835 MHz and 847 MHz (similar to early cell phones) to see if it triggered stress responses. While most stress indicators showed no change, one specific gene called Fos increased by 40-100% in exposed cells. This suggests cell phone radiation can alter gene activity even when it doesn't cause obvious cellular stress.
Study Details
This study was designed to determine whether two differently modulated radiofrequencies of the type generally used in cellular phone communications could elicit a general stress response in a biological system
The two modulations and frequencies studied were a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) with a...

Therefore, these results suggest that the radiofrequency exposure is unlikely to elicit a general stress response in cells of this cell line under these conditions. However, statistically significant increases (approximately 2-fold, P = 0.001) in Fos mRNA levels were detected in exponential cells in transit to the plateau phase and in plateau-phase cells exposed to 835.62 MHz FMCW microwaves. For 847.74 MHz CDMA exposure, the increase was 1.4-fold (P = 0.04). This increase in Fos expression suggests that expression of specific genes could be affected by radiofrequency exposur
