Genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields

February 7, 2021
Henry Lai (2021) Genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, DOI: 10.1080/15368378.2021.1881866 ABSTRACT This is a review of the research on the genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic field (EMF), mainly on radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and static and extremely low frequency EMF (ELF-EMF). The majority of the studies are on genotoxicity (e.g., DNA damage, chromatin conformation changes, etc.)...

Circadian (De)regulation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

November 6, 2019
PMID: 31151182 PMCID: PMC6600143 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20112662 Abstract Head and neck cancer encompass different malignancies that develop in and around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses and mouth. Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) that arise in the flat squamous cells that makeup the thin layer of tissue on the surface of anatomical structures in the head and...

NTP Turns to Mechanisms DNA Breaks, Oxidative Stress and Gene Expression Are on the Agenda

September 18, 2019
Re-posted from: https://microwavenews.com/news-center/ntp-turns-search-mechanisms?fbclid=IwAR2WTm8mY7tcuHzPLXcj7YDJvjeImLufcshES1H9P5Vl6CSNCL1JZyirq7s September 17, 2019 The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) will soon embark on a new phase of its long-running RF project. Last year, the NTP concluded that RF radiation causes cancer; now it will begin a systematic search for mechanisms to explain how and why the tumors developed. Work is expected to begin by...

The effect of exposure to 1800 MHz radiofrequency radiation on epidermal growth factor, caspase-3, Hsp27 and p38MAPK gene expressions in the rat eye.

October 15, 2018
Bratisl Lek Listy. 2018;119(9):588-592. doi: 10.4149/BLL_2018_106 Abstract OBJECTIVE: Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) may induce DNA damage and oxidative stress in human lens epithelial cells (LECs). We aimed to investigate the expression levels of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and caspase-3 gene expression levels in rat...
