Function of the Normal Neuromuscular Junction in Young Children
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test is fundamental to test the functional integrity of the neuromuscular junction. RNS data are scarce for newborns and young children, limiting early diagnostic efforts to identify children with neuromuscular diseases. Here, we performed RNS in young children.

Adipose‐derived stem cell exosomes alleviate TGF‐β1‐induced urethral fibrosis by inhibiting the PDGFR‐β/RAS/ERK signaling axis. This study reveals a dual regulatory mechanism through both the TGF‐β/Smad and platelet‐derived growth factor pathways, offering a promising noninvasive strategy for fibrotic disease treatment and urethral stricture prevention.
