Abstract

The experimental data obtained since 2000 concerning cellular and molecular effects evoked in biological systems by exposure to ultrawideband ultrashort pulsed radiation and microwave radiation are discussed. The most significant cellular effects of electromagnetic fields exposure, such as: apoptosis, cell proliferation, genotoxic effects, and some underlining molecular processes are considered. Conclusion: the cell reaction to ultrawideband ultrashort pulsed radiation and microwave radiation is a multicomponent process that consists of specific and non-specific stress reactions and investigation of these reactions is essential in connection with the growing importance of electromagnetic factors as environmental components and their applications in medicine.
