These studies explored the possible effects of RF fields such as those used by cellular telephones on the calcium concentration in Jurkatt-T and other cells using flourescent dyes and patch clamp technology.

The researchers found tht exposure to alternating fields and pulsed signals had no effect on intracellular calcium concentration, regardless of the pulse modulation technology.

The experiments performed in this investigation did not produce any evidence of weak (athermal) RF effects on intracellular calcium concentations regardless of signal frequency or modulation pattern, and therefore did not corroborate the 1984 report by Dutta et al of positive findings employing similar pulsed 900 MHz signals for exposure.
