3.5 GHz skin-cell/UV-B mitochondrial response
The reported finding
Abstract reports reduced mitochondrial ROS in fibroblasts at 1 W/kg and enhanced UV-B-related ROS in keratinocytes at 0.25 and 1 W/kg. No membrane-potential or apoptosis effect.
Reading it carefully
A biochemical response, not demonstrated injury. No independently checked effect size or complete protocol; exclude from central claims.
Inside the study
Exposure conditions
5G-modulated 3.5 GHz at 0.25,1 or 4 W/kg for 24 h in fibroblasts/keratinocytes, including UV-B co-exposure.
Design & controls
Original in-vitro experiment; full methods, independent replicate counts and temperature controls remain to retrieve.
Related research & shared cohorts
Bordeaux/Limoges skin-cell programme. Haidar 2025, DOI10.1038/s41598-025-15090-w, uses different ROS biosensors and is not an exact independent replication.
The protection question raised
Could RF modify a skin-cell response to ultraviolet exposure? Different cell responses and absent measured apoptosis leave this a biochemical co-stressor hypothesis; full methods and functional consequences remain unverified.
