Biological and health-related effects of weak static magnetic fields (≤ 1 mT) in humans and vertebrates: A systematic review

August 28, 2020
Published: June 9, 2020https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0230038 Abstract Background There is a rapid development in technologies that generate weak static magnetic fields (SMF) including high-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines, systems operating with batteries, such as electric cars, and devices using permanent magnets. However, few reviews on the effects of such fields on biological systems have been prepared and...

Weak magnetic fields alter stem cell–mediated growth

August 28, 2020
Science Advances  30 Jan 2019:Vol. 5, no. 1, eaau7201DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aau7201 Abstract Biological systems are constantly exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the form of natural geomagnetic fields and EMFs emitted from technology. While strong magnetic fields are known to change chemical reaction rates and free radical concentrations, the debate remains about whether static weak magnetic fields...

Effects of lockdown on human sleep and chronotype during the COVID-19 pandemic

August 20, 2020
Leone MJ, Sigman M, Golombek DA. Effects of lockdown on human sleep and chronotype during the COVID-19 pandemic. Curr Biol. 2020;30(16):R930-R931. doi:10.1016/j.cub.2020.07.015 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic [1] resulted in many countries imposing a lockdown, which in turn reduces sunlight exposure and alters daily social schedules. Since these are the main entrainment factors for biological rhythms [2],...
