AB  - The great majority of experimental and theoretical studies in magnetobiology 
      explored and tried to explain bioeffects on organisms (ranging from bacteria to 
      humans) upon exposure to variable (AC) magnetic fields (MF) with a pure 
      sinusoidal waveform, typically combined with a static (DC) component. In this 
      report, a new class of signals is presented and posed as a relevant candidate for 
      research in magnetobiology. The proposed signals are derived within the classic 
      theory of the precession of a magnetic moment in a DC + AC MF in a parallel 
      configuration. They display a frequency modulation such that the phase change per 
      unit time of the applied AC field is, at all times, identical to that of the 
      precession of the magnetic moment to which the field was tuned (considering its 
      gyromagnetic ratio). In other words, applied AC field and precession of the 
      'engaged' magnetic moment are phase-locked. These phase-locked frequency 
      modulated (PLFM) signals are discussed in the context of current literature, and 
      possible future experimental and theoretical developments are suggested.
