View Original AbstractSmartphone Wi-Fi signals showed no harmful effects on stem cells beyond heat generation during five days of laboratory testing.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed fat-derived stem cells to Wi-Fi signals from smartphones uploading data for 10 hours daily over 5 days to test for harmful effects. They found no damage to the cells - no increased cell death, no changes in growth factors, and no other signs of harm from the electromagnetic signals. The only effect was slightly increased cell growth, which the researchers attributed to heat from the phone rather than the Wi-Fi radiation itself.
Study Details
We hypothesized that Wi-Fi signals from smartphones may have harmful influence on adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs).
An in vitro study was performed to assess the influence of Wi-Fi signals from smartphones. The ASCs ...
Apoptosis assay, flow cytometry analysis, and growth factor concentrations showed no remarkable diff...
