Non-thermal effects of 2.45GHz microwaves on spindle assembly, mitotic cells and viability of Chinese hamster V-79 cells

Comparison of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of plutonium-239 alpha particles and mobile phone GSM 900 radiation in the Allium cepa test

“…The frequencies of chromosome aberrations (bridges and fragments) in the negative control and in the sham-exposed group were (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), lagging chromosomes (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), chromosome stickiness in metaphase (12), fragments (13)(14)(15), micronuclei (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), budding nuclei (26)(27)(28), three-group metaphase (29), amitosis (30), and unspecified abnormalities (31)(32)(33). 0.81 ± 0.16% and 0.83 ± 0.14%, respectively, and the frequency of micronuclei was 0.010 ± 0.003% in both groups (Table 3).…”

“…Additionally, the mobile phone radiation seems to have effects upon different biological species: bacteria [10], protozoa [11], plants [12,13], insects [14,15], amphibians [16], birds [17] and mammals [18][19][20][21]. These reports have contributed to a better knowledge of the interactions between EMF and living organisms.…”

Biological indicators in response to radiofrequency/microwave exposure

“…On the other hand, Pokorný (18) showed that damping effect on microtubules could be minimised due to a slip layer formed at the boundary of microtubules and cytosol. Changes in microtubule structure were also observed in several papers (19)(20)(21)(22).…”

Enhancement of Apoptosis by Titanium Alloy Internal Fixations During Microwave Treatments for Fractures: An Animal Study

“…There might be other ones, such as the reactive oxygen species or other non-thermal effects of microwave. Several studies demonstrated that microwave could cause cells apoptosis and the temperature was under 41°C [19][20][21]. The mechanism of muscle cell apoptosis in this study was complicated, and not exactly the same as that of tumor cell apoptosis in hyperthermia condition [22].…”
