Pall’s proposed EMF–calcium–Alzheimer’s pathway

What this paper brings together

A mechanistic mini-review relating calcium-dependent processes in Alzheimer’s disease to laboratory and epidemiological EMF literature.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

Pall organises 18 lines of argument around calcium-channel activation, oxidative/nitrosative stress, inflammation and amyloid-related processes. He proposes that pulsed exposures could contribute to earlier neurodegeneration.

Reading the connections carefully

The synthesis does not establish that everyday wireless use causes Alzheimer’s disease or predict an age of onset. Animal neurodegeneration, human diagnoses and exposure regimes are distinct; the paper itself calls for better epidemiology and biomarker studies.
