This in vitro study exposed B16-BL6 melanoma cells to a time-varying EMF modeled after intercellular calcium-wave firing patterns. The abstract reports a 50.3% reduction in viable cells after a single 40-minute exposure and microscopy findings consistent with apoptosis and nuclear fragmentation versus control. The…

This in vitro study tested several complex low-intensity, low-frequency EMF patterns on proliferation of B16-BL6 mouse melanoma cells. A specific pattern (Thomas-EMF) with a 3 ms point duration reportedly inhibited proliferation and increased calcium uptake, while other timing settings did not. The authors conclude…
