The potential biological impact of 5G signals at 700 MHz on cellular processes such as oxidative stress, cell proliferation, and apoptosis remains an open question. In this study, we investigated the effects of such environmental radiofrequency field (RF) exposure on both primary astrocytes derived from rat brains and human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, focusing on these key cellular pathways...

310. Effects of 5G (26 GHz) exposure on the electrical activity of healthy young adult subjects: a randomized controlled trial, preliminary results

The deployment of 5G communications technology is raising questions about its potential effects on human health (Belpoggi, 2021), including brain activity. Previous studies on 5G, (Jamal et al. ,2023) at 3.5 GHz, showed no significant effects on the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, the effects of higher 5G frequencies, such as 26 GHz, remain largely unexplored (Belpoggi, 2021).

The 26 GHz band is the first high-band 5G frequency currently deployed in France and other European countries to increase bandwidth and address network saturation issues in situations of dense user concentration. As radiofrequency electromagnetic field sources (RF EMF) expand in coverage and introduce new frequency ranges and signal modulations, concerns arise about potential health effects....

312. Effects of fifth-generation (5G) environmental radiofrequency signals on oxidative stress in skin cells: a BRET study.

The exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, coming from mobile communication technologies, have raised societal concerns. Although guidelines have been set by the ICNIRP (such as non-specific heating above 1 °C when exposed to radiofrequency fields), concerns rise about the possible potential health impacts due to the non-thermal effects. With the deployment of 5th generation (5G)...

313. Extracellular vesicles as targets of 5G radiofrequency electromagnetic fields

Lea Walther

The discovery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their ability to carry cargo such as DNA, RNA, and proteins has revolutionized biomedical research. Their role as mediators of intercellular communication, and their involvement in disease development, along with their abundance in every cell make them an interesting target for studying possible effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields...
