Targeting effects of RF-EMF exposure on the human skin and the eye
ETAIN investigates the long-term effects of RF-EMF on human health by measuring the temperature increase due to exposure and the lack of thermoregulation functions at the cellular level.
All about this study…
Skin and the eye are relevant biological targets as they interact with the tissue heating due to dielectric-relaxation and oxidative stress in cells, inflammation and changes in the global gene expression. ETAIN is going to:
Determine in real-time whether RF-EMF impacts reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the DNA damage response in live human skin cells.
Investigate how the cell functionality could be impacted by assessing parameters such as apoptosis, changes in the extracellular matrix structures, and the inflammatory process.
Use emerging frameworks such as transcriptomics and metabolomics to provide a picture of the RF-EMF exposure in the 3D human skin model.
ETAIN will be able to conclude whether there is a causal link between exposure to RF-EMF and adverse effects on skin and the eye in relation with oxidative stress.
