The study has no connection to electromagnetic fields or health effects.
Liimatainen A et al. · 2025
Researchers studied 155,562 people living in buildings with indoor transformer stations to examine if extremely low frequency magnetic fields increase Alzheimer's disease risk. They found no increased risk, with those living next to transformer rooms showing the same Alzheimer's rates as residents on higher floors. This large study contradicts some previous research linking electromagnetic fields to dementia.

This Global Burden of Disease study analyzed mortality data from 24,025 sources across 204 countries from 1950-2023, revealing that global deaths increased 35% due to population growth while age-adjusted death rates declined 66%. The research identified concerning increases in young adult mortality in high-income North America and Eastern Europe, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Kaneda E, Kawai T, Okamura Y, Miyagawa S · 2025
This study appears to be misclassified in the EMF Research Hub database. The EMPA-KIDNEY trial examined empagliflozin, a diabetes medication, for treating chronic kidney disease - not electromagnetic field exposure effects. The research found the drug improved quality of life and reduced healthcare costs over 2-4 years of follow-up.
Kakikawa M, Kenmochi A, Yamada S · 2025
Researchers exposed mutant worms to 60 Hz magnetic fields at 50 milliTesla and found their feeding behavior changed from social to solitary patterns. The magnetic field altered how receptor proteins functioned in the worms' nervous systems. This demonstrates that power-line frequency magnetic fields can directly affect protein function and behavior in living organisms.
Hui Y, Sun C, Yang Q, Liu G, Yuan T, He P, Qin X · 2025
Researchers developed a nerve conduit that uses rotating magnetic fields to generate electrical pulses for healing damaged nerves. The magnetic field-driven device achieved nerve regeneration results comparable to surgical nerve transplants. This breakthrough offers a less invasive approach to treating severe nerve injuries.
Hermans A et al. · 2025
The RECOVERY trial tested two COVID-19 antiviral drugs (molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) in 1,060 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Neither drug improved survival rates or reduced hospital stays when added to standard care. Both studies ended early due to low enrollment, making it difficult to rule out potential benefits.
Hadzibegovic S et al. · 2025
Researchers exposed aged mice to power line frequency magnetic fields (50 Hz at 1 mT) for 12 weeks to test whether older brains are more vulnerable to EMF effects. The study found no worsening of age-related cognitive decline or brain markers associated with Alzheimer's disease. This suggests that chronic exposure to these common electromagnetic fields may not accelerate brain aging in older populations.
Gülmez K, Demirkazık A, Taşkıran AŞ · 2025
Researchers exposed rats to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields (like those from power lines) for 7 days and found the EMF actually improved learning and memory in epileptic animals while reducing brain oxidative stress. The study suggests power line frequency EMF may have protective effects on brain function under certain conditions.
Goforth KM et al. · 2025
Scientists discovered that loggerhead sea turtles can learn to recognize specific magnetic field signatures of different ocean locations, essentially creating a magnetic map for navigation. The study revealed that turtles use two separate biological mechanisms - one for their magnetic compass and another for their magnetic map. Radiofrequency fields disrupted compass navigation but not map learning, suggesting these systems operate differently.
Ghassemkhani K, Dotta BT · 2025
Researchers tested whether theta burst electromagnetic fields (TBEMF) could disrupt learning in planaria flatworms. While control worms successfully learned to avoid areas with bright light, worms exposed to 1 μT TBEMF at 100 Hz showed no learning ability. This suggests EMF exposure can interfere with basic memory formation processes.
Geng D, Liu A, Yan Y, Zheng W · 2025
Researchers conducted the largest genetic study of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), analyzing nearly 14,000 people to identify genetic variants that increase cancer risk. They found three key genetic changes that make people more susceptible to this throat cancer, with one variant affecting how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) behaves in cells. The study reveals how genetics and viral infections work together to cause this cancer.
Eduardo PI, Leticia VD · 2025
Researchers used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 10 Hz frequency on rats with induced depression for 15 days. The magnetic field treatment reduced depression-like behaviors and altered dopamine receptor density in brain regions beyond just the stimulated area. This suggests therapeutic magnetic fields can create beneficial brain changes that extend throughout connected neural circuits.

Researchers tested electromagnetic field therapy on rats with sciatic nerve injuries, using two different magnetic field strengths (60-100 Gauss and 140-200 Gauss) for two hours daily over four weeks. Both treatment groups showed significantly improved mobility and reduced inflammation compared to untreated injured rats. This suggests magnetic field therapy may help nerve repair and recovery after injury.
Zywicka A, Dunisławska A, Fijalkowski K · 2025
Scientists exposed bacteria to rotating magnetic fields at 5 Hz and 50 Hz frequencies for 12-72 hours and found the EMF exposure significantly increased bacterial cellulose production by up to 28%. The magnetic fields altered gene expression in the bacteria, with stronger effects at the lower 5 Hz frequency.
Zhou S, Wen H, He X, Han X, Li H · 2025
This appears to be a study about DeepSeek-V3.2, an artificial intelligence model, not EMF research. The abstract discusses computational efficiency, reinforcement learning, and AI performance benchmarks. No electromagnetic field exposure, biological effects, or health outcomes were studied.
Zastko L et al. · 2025
Researchers exposed human umbilical cord blood cells to sweeping-frequency magnetic fields (3-26 Hz) for 48 hours to study DNA damage and cell death. They found no significant harmful effects, and surprisingly, one exposure level (8 µT) showed a 2-fold reduction in DNA damage markers. The findings suggest these specific magnetic field patterns might actually protect cells from genetic damage.
Wang T et al. · 2025
Researchers analyzed brain scans from over 33,000 people ranging from 32 weeks of fetal development to 80 years old to map how brain connections change throughout life. They found that brain connectivity peaks in our late 30s and 40s, with different brain systems maturing at different rates. This creates the most comprehensive map ever of normal brain development and aging.
Tang W, He D, Li X, Feng Y, Xu Y, Hu J, Xu W, Xue L · 2025
This study appears to focus on artificial intelligence development rather than EMF health effects. Researchers developed a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1 that can learn complex reasoning through reinforcement learning without human demonstrations. The model showed improved performance on mathematics, coding, and STEM problems compared to traditional training methods.

This represents advanced space-based electromagnetic observation technology.
Sandberg M et al. · 2025
Researchers exposed bladder cancer cells (HT-1197) to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy for one hour daily over five days. The treated cancer cells grew significantly slower than untreated cells and showed major changes in gene expression patterns. This suggests PEMF therapy might offer a less invasive treatment approach for bladder cancer patients.
Randhawa A, Ganguly K, Dutta SD, Patil TV, Lim K-T · 2025
This study appears to be misclassified in the EMF Research Hub database - it actually examined COVID-19 antiviral treatments (molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) in hospitalized patients, not electromagnetic field exposure. The RECOVERY trial found that adding these oral antivirals to usual care did not improve clinical outcomes like mortality or hospital stay duration in 923 and 137 patients respectively.
Nam MH, Park HJ, Kim TW, Lee IH, Yun HD, Chen Z, Seo YK · 2025
Researchers exposed mice with induced osteoporosis to pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) and found the treatment reduced bone loss and promoted bone regeneration. The PEMF therapy worked by decreasing inflammatory molecules and increasing protective immune responses in the spleen. This suggests electromagnetic fields might have therapeutic applications for bone health conditions.
Mendoza-Mari Y, Stojanovic M, Miulli DE, Agrawal DK · 2025
This large international study tracked over 11,000 patients after major abdominal surgery to see if extended blood clot prevention medication (28+ days) was effective and safe. Researchers found that post-surgery blood clots were rare (0.1%) and extended medication didn't significantly reduce clot risk or increase bleeding complications. The results suggest current short-term prevention may be adequate for most patients.
