View Original AbstractHigh-level cell phone radiation exposure for 24 hours caused no major damage to immune cells, though subtle gene changes occurred.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed immune system T-cells to cell phone radiation at 1763 MHz for 24 hours to see if it caused cellular damage or changes in gene activity. They found no significant effects on cell growth, DNA damage, or major gene expression changes, though two immune-related genes showed minor decreases. This suggests that 24-hour exposure to this specific frequency at high power levels did not cause detectable harm to these immune cells.
Study Details
The biological effects of exposure to mobile phone emitted radiofrequency (RF) radiation are the subject of intense study, yet the hypothesis that RF exposure is a potential health hazard remains controversial. In this paper, we monitored cellular and molecular changes in Jurkat human T lymphoma cells after irradiating with 1763 MHz RF radiation to understand the effect on RF radiation in immune cells.
Jurkat T-cells were exposed to RF radiation to assess the effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle ...
RF exposure did not produce significant changes in cell numbers, cell cycle distributions, or levels...
These results indicate that the alterations in cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, DNA integrity or global gene expression was not detected upon 1763 MHz RF radiation under 10 W/kg SAR for 24 h to Jurkat T cells.
