This RF Safe article argues that everyday electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could act as a weak “magnetic co‑zeitgeber,” subtly influencing circadian timing alongside light. It proposes a mechanism in which EMFs modulate cryptochrome radical‑pair spin dynamics, potentially nudging circadian phase and downstream processes such as melatonin rhythms, immune function, epigenetic programming, and DNA repair. The piece presents the idea as a framework with testable implications while acknowledging uncertainties, but it is primarily explanatory/commentary rather than reporting new study results.

An RF Safe article argues that plasma membrane potential (Vm) is a key control variable for immune cell behavior by shaping ion driving forces, especially Ca2+ influx through CRAC channels and K+ channel–mediated hyperpolarization. It describes proposed links between Vm-regulated ion flux and downstream immune functions such as T-cell activation (NFAT/NF-κB signaling), macrophage polarization, respiratory burst capacity, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The piece also mentions that external electric fields can influence T-cell migration and activation markers under some conditions, but it does not present new experimental data in the excerpt provided.

RF Safe presents a mechanistic hypothesis that low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMFs) can disrupt the timing (“fidelity”) of voltage-gated ion channel activity, creating bioelectric “phase noise” that could alter calcium signaling and gene transcription involved in immune function. The article further argues that this mistiming may impair mitochondrial function, increasing reactive oxygen species and inflammatory feedback loops, potentially contributing to immune dysregulation. It also proposes a policy/engineering response focused on reducing indoor RF exposure and promoting alternatives such as LiFi, while citing animal and epidemiology findings as suggestive but not definitive support for the broader framework.
