EMF and Protein changes?

Gene/protein expression is induced, up-regulated, down-regulated, etc. by all manner of environmental stimuli. It doesn't mean DNA damage occurs, which is the only current, known, and - most importantly - plausible mechanism of cancer formation.

I'm with Yuri on this one.

Coincidentally I came across two articles today which tie in with this subject but have oodles more plausibility.

This one: - http://the-scientist.com/2012/04/10/dental-x-rays-linked-to-brain-tumors/, about this article - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cncr.26625/full, suggests that brain tumours may be caused by dental x-rays. It's not conclusive and no one is panicking (give it time ;)) but at least it's plausible, x-rays being ionizing radiation, and infinitely more so than the idea that cellphone radiation causes cancer. The study though, still doesn't explain whether the incidence of tumours of the gum or facial bones is also increased by dental x-rays as would be expected, both those tissues being far more likely to develop tumours normally.

The second one is an article discussing how two intracellular proteins, Rab25 and CLIC3 can, in certain circumstances act in combination to promote the development of tumours. The original paper is here. The big difference between this one and the paper in the o.p. is the complete lack of bogus attemts to link the results with any preconcieved notions, namely that cell phones cause cancer by modifying proteins. Whatever its merits, this is just a straightforward paper, without any political 'spin' or "authors' message". That's how it should be done.
