3.5 GHz: oxidative and apoptotic responses in sensory neurons

Peripheral sensory neurons carry information from the body to the nervous system. This study reports that prolonged exposure affected their survival and mitochondrial-apoptotic signalling. It is relevant to investigating neuronal susceptibility, but cannot by itself explain a person’s symptoms.

Prenatal 3.5 GHz exposure: kidney findings six months later

A developmental exposure may need follow-up long after it ends. This experiment examined offspring kidneys six months after prenatal exposure, with one offspring selected from each litter. The reported tissue and DNA findings extend the questions raised by the programme’s earlier reproductive work.

28 GHz: measured pain thresholds in human skin

Pain is an outcome people can recognise directly. This experiment measured when intense local millimetre-wave exposure progressed from warmth to pain, and how responses differed between participants. It provides human threshold information under a specific high-exposure protocol.

27.5 GHz: reproductive responses differ between mouse strains

An effect averaged across a population can miss differences in susceptibility. This recent experiment found that mouse strains responded differently to prolonged exposure, with sperm and testicular changes concentrated in particular groups. The differences are a reason to examine the design and results closely.

27.5 GHz: early-life skin signalling and mast-cell responses

A tissue can respond without showing visible damage. In young mice, prolonged exposure changed several signals involved in skin immunity and sensory regulation. Those findings deserve follow-up, especially across developmental stages, without turning the measured changes into a diagnosis of inflammatory disease.

Sperm and offspring outcomes in a 3.5/24 GHz rat experiment

Fertility questions extend from sperm measurements to mating and offspring. This study followed those outcomes, while its small groups and unblinded assessments remain important to interpretation.

2026 GSM-modulated 3.5 GHz reproductive study: retrieval lead

The abstract reports changes in rat reproductive hormones and testicular tissue, partly reduced by an antioxidant treatment. It offers a chemical-stress hypothesis to verify. Although the frequency was 3.5 GHz, the signal format was GSM, not the format used by 5G networks. Full methods remain unreviewed.

New hippocampal study awaiting original methods

This is a retrieval lead: the title points to changes in a rat brain region involved in memory. The original paper is worth obtaining to examine the exposure and tissue findings together. Only its bibliographic identity is verified here; methods and numerical claims cannot yet support a conclusion about injury.

3.5 GHz: thyroid hormones and oxidative markers in rats

Endocrine effects can matter even when an exposure study is framed around a possible protective compound. The exposure-only comparison here reported thyroid hormone and oxidative changes. Those findings can be examined separately from the uncertain benefit of the proposed intervention.

3.5 GHz: microglial stress responses with incomplete dose reporting

Microglia help maintain the brain’s cellular environment. This study reported oxidative and apoptotic responses after exposure, then tested a possible protective intervention. The observations are worth locating, although incomplete absorbed-dose reporting prevents a confident comparison with environmental exposure.

3.6 GHz: mosquito development and nutritional susceptibility

Wildlife exposure questions need experiments that measure both the field and the organism’s response. This study did that for mosquito larvae, including larvae on a poorer diet. It found development changes whose interpretation depended on exposure intensity and heating.

Prenatal 3.5 GHz exposure and delayed testicular endpoints: retrieval lead

A study of prenatal exposure looked for reproductive changes in male rats a year after birth. The abstract's delayed findings make follow-up beyond infancy an important question. Original dose information and an analysis accounting for offspring from the same litter remain essential to interpretation.

Reproductive endpoints at 3.5 and 24 GHz

This rat study brings reproductive endpoints into research at 3.5 and 24 GHz. It reported changes in sperm function and biological signals in the testes. Yet dose at the animals and reproductive-organ temperature were not measured, preventing a confident separation of RF effects from heating or a comparison with human limits.

Changed cortical gene expression after a 5G signal

Genes help cells respond and carry out their work; measuring which genes are active can reveal a biological response. Repeated exposure to a 5G signal changed gene activity in mouse brain tissue without altering behaviour. The health question is whether those changes have lasting consequences.

28 GHz: warmth perception varies with exposure intensity

Knowing when someone first notices warmth helps interpret stronger exposure experiments. These measurements show that perception thresholds and their repeatability depend on the exposure level. That is useful human physiology, even though the protocol was far more intense than ordinary environmental fields.

3.5 GHz skin-cell/UV-B mitochondrial response

Skin cells encounter more than one stressor. This study's abstract reports that a 5G signal changed some chemical responses involving ultraviolet light, with different patterns in different cell types. The finding makes combined exposures worth examining; full methods and functional consequences must be checked before drawing a health-protection conclusion.

3.5 GHz: reversible suppression of neuronal firing at high SAR

Recording during exposure can reveal a temporary response that disappears afterwards. This experiment found such inhibition in neuronal cultures at its highest exposure level. Its lower-dose results and heating comparison help define the conditions under which that finding belongs in the discussion.

Cell-signalling changes under a 5G-modulated 3.5 GHz signal

Understanding how new signals interact with living cells starts with measured responses. This experiment found selected changes in stress signalling, with substantial variation across conditions that makes the finding a lead for follow-up.

28 GHz: altered pigment production in skin models

Skin pigmentation is a regulated biological process, not simply a cosmetic feature. This experiment found that exposure changed stimulated pigment production in cell and reconstructed-skin models. It adds a measurable response to investigate; whether the change has harmful consequences was not tested.
