[Histonet] Myofibroblasts VS Fibroblasts

[AGrobe2555 <@t> aol.com]

Igor,
You have asked the $1,000,000 question. I've got a couple references  that 
may help.
 
Schurch, W., Seemayer, T. A., Gabbiani, G. The myofibroblast: a quarter  
century after its discovery. Am J Surg Pathol 22(2), 1998, pp 141-147
 
Gabbiani, G. Evolution and clinical implications of the myofibroblast  
concept.  Cardiovasc Res 38(3), 1998, pp 545-548
 
There are others that are more recent, but these were the ones that came to  
mind.  I'll try to find more...
