South Korean researchers find that post-exposure to 5G RF-EMF (3.5 GHz and 28 GHz) reduces UV-induced DNA damage markers by 30-80% in human keratinocytes. The protective effect appears mediated through redox balance and p38 MAPK pathway regulation.

"Post-UV RF-EMF exposure significantly reduced DNA damage markers, including phosphorylated histone H2AX foci formation (by approximately 30–50%) and comet tail moments (by 60–80%)."

— Study findings

"These findings demonstrate that 5G RF-EMFs can facilitate recovery from UVA-induced molecular damage via redox-sensitive and p38-dependent mechanisms."
