View Original AbstractHigh-level cell phone radiation failed to activate cancer-related genes in lab cells, contradicting earlier findings and showing research inconsistencies.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed cells to radiofrequency radiation from cell phone signals (CDMA, FDMA, and TDMA) at high absorption rates of 5-10 W/kg to see if it would activate Fos, a gene linked to cellular stress and potential cancer development. They found no significant changes in Fos expression compared to unexposed cells, failing to confirm an earlier study that had reported such effects. This suggests that RF radiation at these levels may not trigger this particular cellular stress response.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Expression of the Proto-oncogene Fos after Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation Relevant to Wireless Communications.
In this study the expression levels of the proto-oncogene Fos were measured after exposure to radiof...
Expression of Fos mRNA in C3H 10T(1/2) cells was not significantly different from that found after s...
Therefore, the results of Goswami et al. could not be confirmed.
