Abstract

Overview

No detailed abstract provided. This study observes the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on gene expressions in human keratinocytes, which are cells that produce keratin, a key structural material in the human body.

Findings

  • Investigates changes in gene expressions under the influence of RF-EMF.
  • Highlights potential alterations in protective barriers in the skin due to RF-EMF exposure.

Conclusion

The study suggests a possible link between RF-EMF exposure and alterations in gene expression in skin cells. Such changes could potentially affect human health, especially concerning skin barrier functions exposed to electromagnetic fields.
