Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers analyzed genetic data from nearly 50,000 COVID-19 patients across 19 countries to identify genetic factors that influence infection risk and disease severity. They found 13 specific genetic locations linked to COVID-19 susceptibility and outcomes, many connected to lung and immune system function. This research demonstrates how genetics can help explain why some people get sicker than others from the same virus.

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers reviewed the development of polymer-based composite materials designed to shield against radioactive radiation. The study examined how adding high atomic number fillers to polymers creates lightweight, flexible materials that can effectively absorb fast neutrons and other radiation. This research addresses the growing need for better radiation protection as radioactive element use increases across industries.

Pulsed and Discontinuous Electromagnetic Field Exposure Decreases Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma by Modulating the Expression of O 6 -Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase, Cyclin-D1, and p53

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers tested whether electromagnetic fields could help overcome chemotherapy resistance in aggressive brain cancer cells. They found that combining 50 Hz EMF exposure with the drug temozolomide killed more cancer cells and reduced their ability to spread. The electromagnetic fields appeared to make the chemotherapy more effective by changing how key cancer-related genes and proteins behaved.

Unknown authors · 2021

This appears to be a conference proceedings document from a 2021 African radiology and nuclear medicine conference in Ouagadougou, containing abstracts and presentations on medical imaging, radiation protection, and diagnostic procedures. The document covers radiation safety training, medical imaging techniques, and clinical case studies from healthcare facilities across French-speaking African countries.

Modulation of Macrophage Activity by Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields in the Context of Fracture Healing Bioengineering

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers tested 22 different extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on immune cells called macrophages to see which ones could help fracture healing. They found two specific fields around 52 Hz that had opposite effects - one promoted inflammation while the other reduced it and enhanced healing factors. The anti-inflammatory field also helped stem cells produce proteins needed for bone repair.

Unknown authors · 2021

This appears to be a bibliography or reference list from a 2021 veterinary journal focusing on viral diseases in reptiles and amphibians. The collection includes studies on various herpesviruses, ranaviruses, and other pathogens affecting turtles, snakes, and other cold-blooded animals. However, this reference list does not contain any research related to electromagnetic fields or EMF health effects.

Bai W, Li M, Xu W, Zhang M

Unknown authors · 2021

This study appears to be misclassified in the EMF Research Hub database. The research actually focuses on carbon neutrality and climate change solutions, not electromagnetic field health effects. The authors reviewed innovative technologies for renewable energy, sustainable food systems, and carbon capture to achieve global carbon neutrality by 2050.

The guardians of germ cells; Sertoli-derived exosomes against electromagnetic field-induced oxidative stress in mouse spermatogonial stem cells

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed mouse sperm stem cells to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields (like power lines) and found it caused oxidative damage and cell death. However, when they treated the damaged cells with protective molecules called exosomes from Sertoli cells, the damage was largely reversed. This suggests natural cellular repair mechanisms might help protect male fertility from EMF exposure.

Anti-Oxidative and Immune Regulatory Responses of THP-1 and PBMC to Pulsed EMF Are Field-Strength Dependent

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed two types of human immune cells to pulsed electromagnetic fields of different strengths and found dramatically different responses. Cancer-derived immune cells showed beneficial anti-inflammatory effects at weak field strengths, while healthy immune cells required stronger fields but experienced cellular stress and increased cell death.

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers conducted a comprehensive molecular analysis of 140 pancreatic cancer samples using advanced protein and genetic sequencing techniques. This study mapped the complete biological changes that occur in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, one of the most aggressive cancers. The findings create a detailed resource to help identify new treatment targets and improve early detection methods.

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed male rats to 2100 MHz electromagnetic fields (similar to 3G cell phone frequencies) and found significant damage to reproductive health, including reduced testosterone, lower sperm count, and increased abnormal sperm. However, when rats received selenium supplements alongside EMF exposure, most of the reproductive damage was prevented or reduced.

Modulatory effects of Punica granatum L juice against 2115 MHz (3G) radiation-induced reproductive toxicity in male Wistar rat

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed male rats to 2115 MHz radiation (3G cell phone frequency) for 2 hours daily over 45 days and found significant damage to sperm count, motility, and testicular tissue. However, rats given pomegranate juice showed protection against this reproductive damage, suggesting antioxidants may help counteract EMF-induced fertility problems.

Electromagnetic Waves from Mobile Phones may Affect Rat Brain During Development

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers used EEG brain wave measurements to study how mobile phone electromagnetic radiation affects brain activity in real-time. They compared brain wave patterns when participants were not using phones versus when actively using them. The study found measurable changes in brain electrical activity during mobile phone use, suggesting the radiofrequency energy does influence neural function.

No Significant Effects of Cellphone Electromagnetic Radiation on Mice Memory or Anxiety: Some Mixed Effects on Traumatic Brain Injured Mice

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed healthy and brain-injured mice to cell phone radiation to test effects on memory and anxiety. The radiation alone showed no significant impact on normal mice, but produced mixed results in brain-injured animals - improving visual memory while worsening spatial memory in females. The study highlights the complexity of EMF effects and challenges in drawing definitive conclusions.

Hippocampal Oxidative Stress Induced by Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation and the Neuroprotective Effects of Aerobic Exercise in Rats: A Randomized Control Trial

Unknown authors · 2021

Researchers exposed rats to cell phone radiation (900/1800 MHz) for 3 hours daily and found it caused brain cell death and oxidative damage in the hippocampus. However, rats that also performed moderate aerobic exercise showed protection against this radiation-induced brain damage, with significantly fewer dead brain cells and better antioxidant defenses.
