Abstract

Overview

Despite numerous studies, the effect of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on living organisms remains a debated topic. Inconsistencies in results and a lack of comparability between different labs highlight the complexity of EMF impacts on biological systems.

Findings

• The immune system's cells are impacted by EMF exposure, potentially modulating their effector activities.
• EMF effectiveness relates to the frequency range and specific cell types involved.
• Simultaneous exposure to EMFs and other stressors might amplify cellular changes.

Conclusion

The precise mechanisms by which EMFs affect immune cell viability and activities remain unclear due to the diversity of experimental conditions and EMF parameters. However, the potential for EMFs to modulate gene expression, protein levels, cell membrane structures, and various cellular signaling pathways cannot be ignored, signaling a need for continued multidirectional research to evaluate the risks and benefits of EMF exposure.
