Radiofrequency radiation (900 MHz) induces Egr‐1 gene expression and affects cell‐cycle control in human neuroblastoma cells

8 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

Many environmental signals, including ionizing radiation and UV rays, induce activation of Egr-1 gene, thus affecting cell growth and apoptosis. The paucity and the controversial knowledge about the effect of electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure of nerve cells prompted us to investigate the bioeffects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The effect of a modulated RF field of 900 MHz,...
