Static magnetic fields affect calcium fluxes and inhibit stress‐induced apoptosis in human glioblastoma cells
26 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic data revealed increased brain tumor incidence in workers exposed to magnetic fields (MFs), raising concerns about the possible link between MF exposure and cancer. However, MFs seem to be neither mutagenic nor tumorigenic. The mechanism of their tumorigenic effect has not been elucidated. METHODS: To evaluate the interference of MFs with physical (heat shock, HS) and chemical (etoposide,...
