Summary:

This in vitro study investigated the effects of millimetre wave (MMW) exposure on the gene expression in human cells (keratinocytes). Thermal effects were investigated by exposing the cells to MMW at 20 mW/cm². Significant modification of keratinocyte gene expression was observed, due to the thermal effects of MMW. However there was no modification in gene expression, when the temperature of the exposed cells was artificially maintained constant.
