The circadian clock and darkness control natural competence in cyanobacteria

April 26, 2020
Taton, A., Erikson, C., Yang, Y. et al. The circadian clock and darkness control natural competence in cyanobacteria. Nat Commun 11, 1688 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-15384-9 Abstract The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus is a model organism for the study of circadian rhythms. It is naturally competent for transformation—that is, it takes up DNA from the environment, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here,...

Infected Ixodes ricinus ticks are attracted by electromagnetic radiation of 900 MHz

April 8, 2020
Abstract The electromagnetic field (EMF) is known to influence functions of the nervous, cardiovascular and reproductive systems of many animals, including ticks. The aim of this study was to test the behavior of ticks in the presence of radio-frequency EMF. For testing, 160 adult male and 140 adult female unfed Ixodes ricinus ticks were used. Individuals were...

ICNIRP: GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE RELEVANT TO THE “GUIDELINES FOR LIMITING EXPOSURE TO TIME-VARYING ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (1 HZ–100 KHZ)”

April 7, 2020
PUBLISHED IN: HEALTH PHYS 118(5):533–542; 2020 Abstract—Sources of low-frequency fields are widely found in modern society. All wires or devices carrying or using electricity generate extremely low frequency (ELF) electric fields (EFs) and magnetic fields (MFs), but they decline rapidly with distance to the source. High magnetic flux densities are usually found in the vicinity...
