The mechanisms whereby electromagnetic (EM) fields stimulate changes in biosynthesis in cells are not known. It has generally been assumed that EM fields first interact with cell membranes, but this pathway may not be the only one. Interactions with membranes are well documented, but recent studies

β¦ Synopsis
Blank and Goodman [(1997): Bioelectromagnetics 18:111 -115] suggest that weak extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields affect intracellular DNA directly. We show that such a conclusion is not in accord with physical principles.

Exponentially growing cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were exposed to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 41.682 GHz to 41.710 GHz in 2 MHz increments at low power densities (0.5 mW/cm 2 and 50 mW/cm 2 ) to observe possible nonthermal effects on the division of this microo
## Abstract A 225βΒ΅T, extremely low frequency, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) that was designed for the induction of antinociception, was tested for its effectiveness to influence blood flow within the skeletal microvasculature of a male SpragueβDawley rat model (__n__β=β103).

An international seminar was held June 4 -6, 1997, on the biological effects and related health hazards of ambient or environmental static and extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (0 -300 Hz). It was cosponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Commissi
