Researchers exposed stomach cancer cells to extremely low frequency magnetic fields and found the exposure altered expression of c-Myc (a gene linked to cancer progression) and circ-CCDC66 (a regulatory RNA molecule). The effects varied depending on field strength and whether exposure was continuous or intermittent, with some conditions reducing cancer-promoting gene activity while others increased it.

Researchers exposed human cells to sodium fluoride (a toxic chemical) and then to static magnetic fields to see how the magnetic exposure affected cell death. The magnetic fields reduced fluoride-induced cell death and changed the activity of genes involved in programmed cell death. This suggests static magnetic fields might have protective effects against certain chemical toxins.

Researchers exposed human hair follicle cells to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at 70 Hz frequency to test effects on hair growth. The study found that 10 G intensity EMF exposure significantly increased production of molecules that promote hair growth and activated cellular pathways involved in hair follicle development. This suggests EMF therapy could potentially treat hair loss conditions like male pattern baldness.

Researchers tested whether magnetic fields could enhance the effectiveness of brain cancer treatment. They exposed human glioblastoma cells to 10 Hz and 50 Hz magnetic fields combined with the chemotherapy drug Temozolomide. The combination increased cancer cell death and activated tumor-suppressing proteins more than chemotherapy alone.

Researchers tested whether wireless signals from phones, WiFi, and other devices directly damage DNA in human cells. They found no evidence that GSM, UMTS, WiFi, or RFID signals cause DNA breaks or interfere with cellular DNA repair mechanisms. The study suggests that if wireless radiation does contribute to cancer, it likely works through indirect pathways rather than direct genetic damage.

Researchers studied how radiofrequency radiation affects gene expression in human skin cells (keratinocytes) from different origins. The study found that RF radiation can alter which genes are turned on or off in these cells. This matters because changes in gene expression can affect cell function and potentially contribute to health effects from wireless device exposure.

Scientists studied how proteins called cohesin and polycomb organize chromosomes in embryonic stem cells. They found that cohesin disrupts certain chromosome interactions created by polycomb proteins, which affects gene expression. This reveals a previously unknown mechanism for how cells control which genes are turned on or off.

Researchers synthesized new benzimidazole chemical compounds and tested their ability to kill cancer cells in laboratory studies. One compound (compound 5) showed strong anti-cancer effects, stopping cell division and triggering cancer cell death while being less toxic to healthy kidney cells. This suggests potential for developing new cancer treatments from these synthetic compounds.

Researchers exposed mouse ovarian follicles to cell phone radiation and found it altered their growth and development patterns. The radiation changed the activity of specific enzymes (MMP-2 and MMP-9) that are crucial for healthy egg development. This suggests cell phone radiation may interfere with normal reproductive processes at the cellular level.

Researchers exposed human brain cells and mouse immune cells to 935 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone frequencies) at levels within current safety guidelines. After 24 hours of exposure, they found increased autophagy (cellular cleanup processes) and temporary oxidative stress in brain cells, but no cell death.

Turkish researchers exposed human kidney cells to 2.45 GHz radiation (the same frequency as WiFi and microwave ovens) for one hour and found it caused cellular damage and programmed cell death. However, when cells were pre-treated with zinc supplements, the mineral provided significant protection against this radiation-induced harm.

Researchers synthesized new benzimidazole chemical compounds and tested their ability to kill cancer cells in laboratory conditions.

Scientists developed a mathematical framework to predict how radiofrequency magnetic fields in the MHz range affect cellular chemistry by interfering with radical pairs (unstable molecular fragments). The research suggests these weak RF fields can alter reactive oxygen species production in cells through quantum mechanical processes, even when the radiation energy is far below thermal noise levels.

Researchers exposed brain cells that create myelin (the protective coating around nerve fibers) to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields. The electromagnetic fields helped these cells mature and produce more myelin, which could potentially aid recovery from spinal cord injuries. The study found this happened through specific genetic mechanisms involving microRNAs.
