Collection: Reviews & proposed mechanisms (not an original experiment)

Doi: 10.1515/reveh-2025-0104

Title: Radiofrequency radiation-induced gene expression

Authors: Henry Lai; B Blake Levitt

Date: 2025-10-29

Issueyear: 2025

Why: Patterns in gene activity can offer clues about what cells are responding to before overt tissue injury is visible.

Summary: Reviews RF-associated expression changes in genes involved in protein repair, oxidative responses, apoptosis, DNA damage responses and neural function; interprets the pattern as consistent with cellular stress.

Limitations: Gene-expression changes are not equivalent to injury or a clinical diagnosis. Different biological systems and exposure conditions are combined without a single risk estimate.

Scope: A 2025 review of gene-expression responses to RF exposure, including stress, repair and cell-signalling pathways.

Exposures: Radiofrequency

Journal: Reviews on environmental health

Heading: Gene-expression patterns after radiofrequency exposure

Id: REV-009

Kind: Narrative review
