Electromagnetic irradiation from mobile phones induces the activation of the ERK cascade and thereby induces transcription and other cellular processes.
PMID: Biochem J. 2007 Aug 1 ;405(3):559-68. PMID: 17456048 Abstract Title: Mechanism of short-term ERK activation by electromagnetic fields at mobile phone frequencies. Abstract: The exposure to non-thermal microwave electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phones affects the expression of many proteins. This effect on transcription and protein stability can be mediated by the MAPK (mitogen-activated …
