Blue Light Induces Down-Regulation of Aquaporin 1, 3, and 9 in Human Keratinocytes.

January 1, 2019
Abstract Published online 2018 Nov 3. doi: 10.3390/cells7110197 The development in digital screen technology has exponentially increased in the last decades, and many of today’s electronic devices use light-emitting diode (LED) technology producing very strong blue light (BL) waves. Long-term exposure at LED-BL seems to have an implication in the dehydration of the epidermis, in the...

Environmental radiofrequency radiation at the Järntorget Square in Stockholm Old Town, Sweden in May, 2018 compared with results on brain and heart tumour risks in rats exposed to 1.8 GHz base station environmental emissions

December 4, 2018
  Abstract: Radiofrequency (RF) radiation in the frequency range 30 kHz to 300 GHz was evaluated in 2011 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at WHO to be a ‘possible human carcinogen’ Group 2B. The conclusion was based on human epidemiological studies on an increasedrisk of glioma and acoustic neuroma. In previous...
