The results of the study by Bektas et al. (2026) suggest that even low exposure to 3.5 GHz high-frequency radiation modulated by GSM with a low SAR value can have a negative effect on the reproductive health of mice and that CoQ10 supplementation may have partial protective effects.

Igor Beliaev et al. (2026) responds to the exchange of views between Mevissen et al. and Karipidis et al. by elaborating on how evidence from biological cancer tests in animals should be analyzed and interpreted to identify carcinogenic risk, focusing on evidence synthesis, statistical inference, and exposure relevance.

Neurotoxic effects of 3.5 GHz GSM-like RF exposure on cultured DRG neurons: a mechanistic insight into oxidative and apoptotic pathways🔗

The study Bektas et al. (2026) shows that non-thermal exposure to 3.5 GHz RF-EMF disrupts the redox balance and triggers mitochondrial apoptosis in the dorsal root ganglion neurons of mice. This finding demonstrates the vulnerability of peripheral neurons to mid-band exposure.

Taurine’s Role in Mitigating Radar-Induced Oxidative Stress and Reproductive Toxicity in Male Rats: Antioxidant Defense Mechanism, Biochemical and Physiological Study🔗

Written on 20 January 2026. Posted in Science. No Comments on Taurine’s Role in Mitigating Radar-Induced Oxidative Stress and Reproductive Toxicity in Male Rats: Antioxidant Defense Mechanism, Biochemical and Physiological Study🔗

According Azzazy et al. (2026) the male rats exposed to 2.5 GHz radar EMR at an average density of 200 mW/m² for 1 hour daily for 28 days showed acute oxidative stress, leading to a significant effect on fertility. Taurine reversed these adverse effects and was proposed as a protective agent for radars wave-exposed workers.

The effects of acute and chronic exposure of 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation on rat mismatch negativity🔗

Written on 29 December 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on The effects of acute and chronic exposure of 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation on rat mismatch negativity🔗

The study by Er et al. 2025 found that exposing rodents to 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation may have adverse effects on auditory sensory memory. Researchers also observed mitochondrial damage and edema in certain cellular structures.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid Preserves Testicular Integrity Under 2.45 GHz Electromagnetic Radiation by Restoring Redox and Inflammatory Balance🔗

Written on 29 December 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on Alpha-Lipoic Acid Preserves Testicular Integrity Under 2.45 GHz Electromagnetic Radiation by Restoring Redox and Inflammatory Balance🔗

The study on rodents conducted by Cakir et al. 2025 showed that the 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation caused non-thermal effects such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and testicular damage, while alpha-lipoic acid acted as a protective agent against EMR-related reproductive toxicity and infertility risk.

The effect of Wi-Fi on elastic and collagen fibres in the blood vessel wall of the chorioallantoic membrane🔗

Written on 9 October 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on The effect of Wi-Fi on elastic and collagen fibres in the blood vessel wall of the chorioallantoic membrane🔗

The results of the Slovakian study by Holovská et al. (2025) on chicken embryos support the hypothesis that exposure to Wi-Fi can adversely affect the fibrous elements of large vessel walls and may play a role in the development of various cardiovascular diseases.

Genotoxic and histopathological effects of 6 GHz radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on rat liver tissue🔗

Written on 23 July 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on Genotoxic and histopathological effects of 6 GHz radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on rat liver tissue🔗

A 2025 study by Ilgaz et al. showed that exposure of rats to 6 GHz RF-EMR (0.065 W/kg) for 4 hours a day during 42 days resulted in histopathological and DNA changes in liver tissue. The authors stated that their study was the first one to specifically address the genotoxic and histopathological effects of 6 GHz RF-EMR.

Does Electromagnetic Pollution in the ART Laboratory Affect Sperm Quality? A Cross-Sectional Observational Study🔗

Written on 25 June 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on Does Electromagnetic Pollution in the ART Laboratory Affect Sperm Quality? A Cross-Sectional Observational Study🔗

A 2025 study by Baldini et al. shows that cell phones and wireless local area network access points can significantly reduce sperm motility. The authors recommend against introducing mobile phones into IVF laboratories as well as placing Wi-Fi repeaters away from areas where biological material is handled.

Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review🔗

Written on 30 May 2025. Posted in Science. No Comments on Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review🔗

A major review of studies in experimental animals by Meviessen et al. 2025 found strong evidence that high frequency electromagnetic radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer, with the strongest evidence for malignant heart and brain tumours. This systematic review was commissioned by the World Health Organization Office.
