Effect of low-power millimeter waves on endoplasmic reticulum stress

PosterInternational audienceThis paper reports experimental results on the effect of low-power millimeter-wave (MMW) radiations on human brain cells. We investigated potential effects of the radiations in 59-61GHz frequency range on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This cellular organelle is extremely sensitive to environmental insults and perturbation of its homeostasis is involved in various pathologies such as cancers, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. The selection of the exposure frequencies was essentially determined by their nearfuture applications in new local high-data-rate wireless communication systems
