Mobile phone radiation might alter protein expression in human skin
A new study completed by the
Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) on effects of mobile phone radiation on human skin strengthens the results of the human cell line analyses: living tissue responds to mobile phone radiation. Science Daily reports.
"... In the study, a small area of forearm’s skin in 10 volunteers was exposed to GSM signal for one hour. After that skin biopsies were collected from exposed and non-exposed areas of skin and all extractable proteins were examined. The analysis of 580 proteins identified 8 proteins that were statistically significantly affected.
According to Dariusz Leszczynski, Research Professor at STUK it is much too early to say will these changes induced by the mobile phone radiation have any effect on health.
”Mobile phone radiation has some biological effect. Even if the changes are small, they still exist”, says Dariusz Leszczynski, Research Professor at STUK.
The entire article "Mobile phone radiation might alter protein expression in human skin" is available in the BMC Genomics web journal.
