Following perioperative injury to a macroscopically intact recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), there are two possible intraneural injury types: 1) axonal injury, including disruption of axons, and 2) conduction block, only affecting the Schwann cells and the nodes of Ranvier. In this study, it was hypothesized that the functional outcome after RLN injury may depend on the type of nerve injury.

    We investigated the role of NRP-1 on Smad signaling in stromal fibroblasts upon TGF-beta stimulation. Elimination of NRP-1 in stromal fibroblast cell lines increases Smad1/5 phosphorylation and downstream responses, as evidenced by upregulation of inhibitor of differentiation (Id-1). Conversely, NRP...
