RADIATION

5GFR2 non ionizing EMW exposure

"A 5G source, only exposing a small skin-area, will be placed on each arm of the participants. Only one of the two sources will emit waves (controlled by a computer). One arm will be exposed to 20W/m2 (a dose rate inferior to the recommended maximum for EMW exposure in Switzerland), the other not. The exposure time is 20 minutes.~After the exposure, the participants will wait one hour and a 7.5-mm biopsy by punch (two pieces: one 5-mm punch + half a 5-mm punch) will be performed under local anesthesia on each arm. The wound will be closed by a simple suture. A second set of samples will be taken 24h after the exposure, using the same procedure.~For each participant, 1 full biopsy per arm and per time-point will be used for single-cell-RNA-sequencing analysis. The selected method uses generic probed sequencing and does not generate patient-specific genomic information."
