TL;DR: Investigating the effects of exposures to two different 50 Hz sinusoidal ELF‐MFs intensities in maturing rat cortical neurons' major anti‐oxidative enzymatic and non‐enzymatic cellular protection systems and linear regression analysis suggested a positive correlation between reduced glutathione (GSH) and ROS levels in 1 mT MF‐exposed cells.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that methylglyoxal-induced neurotoxicity occurs through the impairment of detoxification pathway and depletion of reduced glutathione, which triggers widespread apoptotic cell death, occurring through the convergence of both mitochondrial and Fas-receptor pathways.

TL;DR: The data seem to suggest that the exposure to ELF-MFs may act as a risk factor for the occurrence of oxidative stress-based nervous system pathologies associated with ageing.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that primary neuronal cells, at an early stage of development, can be maintained in a suspension condition before adherent plating, leading cells to development and maturation in a tridimensional state.

TL;DR: It is postulate that relatively short microgravitational stimuli, applied to neural cells during the developmental stage, exert a long time activation of specific neurotrophic pathways.
