Investigating thermal and possible non-thermal effects of radiofrequency radiation in brain tissue

人们一直担心长时间使用手机可能造成的危害。世卫组织已经发布了一项研究议程来解决这些问题。本研究旨在研究细胞水平上的可能机制，这被认为是一个高度优先的研究需要。它的目的是找出可能有害的细胞变化是否由于组织内轻微的加热效应而发生，或者是否涉及其他非热机制。

There are ongoing concerns over the possible harm from the prolonged use of mobile phone handsets. The WHO have issued a research agenda to address these concerns. This study aims to study possible mechanisms at the cellular level that was identified as a high priority research need. It aims to find out whether cellular changes that could be harmful follow as a result of slight heating effects within tissue, or whether some other, non-thermal, mechanisms may be involved.
