Study Type		In Vitro
Model		Static magnetic field exposure to human embryonic cells and analysis of inflammatory gene expression
Details		Human embryonic cells were exposed to static magnetic fields at 0.23-0.28 Tesla and analyzed for mRNA expression profile. The authors report activation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) and pathogen recognition receptors (TLR4) as well as increased expression of other genes (NEU3, ST3GAL5) in a manner that augmented the activation of TLR4 and IL-6.
