Immunity and electromagnetic fields
Abstract
Overview
The impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on living organisms has been a subject of debate, with inconclusive results across different studies and laboratories. The interaction of EMF with biological entities is complex, influenced by the nature of the electromagnetic field as well as various biological and environmental factors.
Findings
- Immune system cells are affected by exposure to EMFs.
- EMF exposure might alter the effector activities of immune responses.
- The effectiveness of EMF is contingent upon the EMF's frequency range and the types of cells affected.
- Cellular transformations could be intensified by the concurrent effects of EMFs and other stressors.
Conclusion
The study synthesizes that electromagnetic fields could be significant in modulating immune response and various cellular processes within immune cells. Although no definite mechanisms were pinpointed, the Collective data from the study suggest further examination into the role of EMF in immune modulation is warranted, especially considering its potential applications in healthcare and treatment strategies.
