View Original AbstractRF radiation at cell phone levels failed to trigger stress genes or cancer-related genes in immune cells, unlike heat treatment.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human immune cells to 1.9 GHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone signals) at power levels of 1 and 10 watts per kilogram for 6 hours to see if it would trigger stress responses or activate genes linked to cancer development. They found no changes in stress proteins or cancer-related genes at either power level, while heat treatment (as a positive control) did trigger the expected cellular stress responses.
Study Details
The current study was undertaken to evaluate this possibility in two human-derived immune cell-lines.
HL-60 and Mono-Mac-6 (MM6) cells were individually exposed to intermittent (5 min on, 10 min off) 1....
No significant effects were observed in mRNA expression of HSP27, HSP70, c-jun, c-myc or c-fos betwe...
This study found no evidence that exposure of cells to non-thermalizing levels of 1.9 GHz pulse-modulated RF fields can cause any detectable change in stress-related gene expression.
