Analysis of the Inconsistency Among Current Studies Reporting Biological Effects of Magnetic Fields on Cells

Abstract: With the development and increasing popularity of the wireless communication equipments， the potential impact of magnetic fields on human health is invoking increasing concerns. Due to the differences between cell types as well as magnetic field parameters， people have not correctly understood the mechanism of the biological effects caused by the magnetic field. This review gives an overview of the current results of scientific research regarding in the effects of magnetic field on cell proliferation， taking magnetic field type and intensity， cell type and density into account. Furthermore， some potential biological mechanisms by analyzing the magnetic effects on signal transduction pathways are also discussed in this review. To provide some starting points for future explorations of the magnetic effects on biology in the basic and clinical research， we summary and analyze the existing data in the literature to find out the causes of the diversity and contradictions.
