Neurons grown in culture were exposed to a working cell phone. Gene array analysis was used to examine changes in expression of genes related to apoptosis. Data presented are the means of two separate experiments. The fold change values represent gene expression levels detected in cells exposed to a cell phone in the “on” mode (exposed) relative to that of non-exposed, control cells.
