Previous research indicates that the cytoskeleton microtubules (MT) have resonance frequencies in the radiofrequency (RF) range. In this study, cells were labeled with cytoskeletal markers and were exposed to a range of GHz frequencies. Confocal microscopy analysis was performed following exposures to examine effects due to RF exposures to evaluate changes in cell morphology, and on the organization of MT and overall cytoskeletal network. MT are involved in various cellular processes; therefore, it is important to understand RF energy coupling with MT and associated cytoskeletal organization to enable possibilities for RF energy in future development of non-contact MT-based applications.
