The study at Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) found that exposure to radiation from cellular phones can cause increased activity in hundreds of proteins in human cells grown in a laboratory.

The study found that a protein called hsp27 linked to the functioning of the blood-brain barrier showed increased activity due to irradiation and pointed to a possibility that such activity could make the shield (blood -brain barrier) more permeable. 

Darius Leszczynski headed this two year study. At present it is not possible to speculate on what kind of health risks that could pose, but said a French study indicated that headache, fatigue and sleep disorders could result.
