Jim and all,

What's the relationship (if any) between Fibroblast and Fiblast?

This is from a small article on page 61 of the January issue of
Discover magazine:

"In February a team led by a researcher at the Fulda Clinic
in Germany reported that they'd coaxed new blood vessels
to grow in the hearts of patients with blocked coronary
arteries. The study is the first clinical trial of an experimental
technique that involves injecting a genetically engineered
protein -- fibroblast growth factor -- into tissue surrounding
blocked coronary arteries. Within three months, all 20 treated
patients had grown new blood vessels."
