75–105 GHz: persistent shape changes in lung-cancer cells
The reported finding
Cell/nuclear morphology changed over subsequent days in patterns the authors associated with apoptosis and accelerated senescence.
Reading it carefully
Cancer-cell experiment; morphology alone is not a complete mechanistic diagnosis. Medium strongly attenuated power reaching cells. No automotive FMCW signal or normal-tissue hazard was established.
Inside the study
Technology connection
Broad 75–105 GHz cellular sweep overlapping automotive-radar frequencies; not a deployed automotive FMCW waveform or exposure scenario.
Publication type
Original journal research
Exposure conditions
75–105 GHz sweep; reported incident density 0.2 mW/cm²; 2 or 4 min exposure, followed for 14 days.
Design & controls
H1299 lung-cancer cells; irradiated, handled-unirradiated and incubator controls; microscopy.
Statistics
See the original results; effect sizes were not independently recalculated.
Related research & shared cohorts
Companion Komoshvili 2020 mortality paper; shared group/cell system, not two independent replications. Related publication records: WEB-044.
The protection question raised
Which exposure conditions reproduce this finding, and what would establish its relevance beyond the experimental model?
Source verification
