Federal scientists released partial findings Friday from a $25 million animal study that tested the possibility of links between cancer and chronic exposure to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices. The findings, which chronicle an unprecedented number of rodents subjected to a lifetime of electromagnetic radiation, present some of the strongest evidence to date that such exposure is associated with the formation of rare cancers in at least two cell types in the brains and hearts of rats.
There are some major caveats, though. The results were only observed in male rats; there weren't any significant effects seen in female rats. Exposure in utero didn't seem to affect cancer risk. And in male rats, the incidence of those two cancers was quite low. But even a small increase in the incidence of those cancers could have a major public health impact given how many people in the world regularly use cell phones.

Glial are more akin to collagen, but for nerve cells, i.e.- they operate like scaffolding.
Tests run on people who claim to be able to detect wi-fi signals have been negative. People have not been able to detect the presence at any better rates than chance.
That is not to say they aren't feeling something, but more than likely it isn't related to wi-fi. No sensory cells are affected anyway.
