Organ culture studies on the development of mouse embryo limb buds under EMF influence.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of an electromagnetic field (EMF) on limb bud development in vitro, an organ culture system was applied.

Materials And Methods: Three test groups of amputated mouse limb buds included the experimental (E) group which received EMF (50 Hz/13.1 mT, for 2 h), a sham (Sh) group exposed to no EMF treatment and the control (C) group.
