I now have the complete Table 1.1 from Robbins, Cotran & Kumar - Pathologic Basis of Disease. Here is the full table:

Growth Factors Involved in Regeneration and Repair

Source: Table 1.1 - Robbins, Cotran & Kumar Pathologic Basis of Disease

Growth Factor	Sources	Functions
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)	Activated macrophages, salivary glands, keratinocytes, many other cells	Mitogenic for many cell types; stimulates epithelial cell migration; stimulates formation of granulation tissue
Transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α)	Activated macrophages, keratinocytes, many other cells	Stimulates proliferation of hepatocytes and many other epithelial cells
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (scatter factor)	Fibroblasts, stromal cells in the liver, endothelial cells	Enhances proliferation of hepatocytes and other epithelial cells; increases cell motility
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)	Mesenchymal cells	Stimulates proliferation of endothelial cells; increases vascular permeability
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)	Platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, keratinocytes	Chemotactic for neutrophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells; activates and stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and other cells; stimulates ECM protein synthesis
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) including acidic (FGF-1) and basic (FGF-2)	Macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cells, many other cell types	Chemotactic and mitogenic for fibroblasts; stimulates angiogenesis and ECM protein synthesis
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)	Platelets, T lymphocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts	Chemotactic for leukocytes and fibroblasts; stimulates ECM protein synthesis; suppresses acute inflammation
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) (i.e., FGF-7)	Fibroblasts	Stimulates keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and differentiation

ECM = Extracellular matrix

Key notes from Robbins on these growth factors:

EGF and TGF-α belong to the same EGF family and bind overlapping receptors. The EGF receptor (EGFR1/ERBB1) is frequently mutated or amplified in lung, head and neck, breast, and brain cancers. HER-2 (ERBB2) is overexpressed in a subset of breast cancers.
HGF is produced as an inactive precursor (pro-HGF) activated by serine proteases at injury sites. Its receptor is MET, which is frequently overexpressed/mutated in renal, thyroid papillary, and lung carcinomas - making MET inhibitors useful clinically.
PDGF is stored in platelet granules and released upon activation. It exists as several isoforms (AA, AB, BB, CC, DD) and signals through PDGFRα and PDGFRβ.
FGFs (especially FGF-2/basic FGF) are important mediators of angiogenesis during wound healing and can also stimulate ECM synthesis.
TGF-β plays a dual role - it suppresses acute inflammation while simultaneously driving fibrosis through ECM synthesis stimulation, making it a key mediator of scar formation.
KGF (FGF-7) is produced exclusively by fibroblasts and acts specifically on keratinocytes, making it important for re-epithelialization of skin wounds.

I now have the full stem cells section from Robbins, Cotran & Kumar. Here is the summary:

Stem Cells - Summary

Source: Robbins, Cotran & Kumar - Pathologic Basis of Disease, Chapter 1

Definition and Core Properties

Stem cells have two defining properties:

Self-renewal - the ability to replicate themselves indefinitely
Differentiation - the capacity to give rise to specialized, differentiated cells and tissues

Homeostatic Balance

In normal tissues (without healing, degeneration, or neoplasia), there is a steady-state equilibrium between:

Stem cell replication and self-renewal
Differentiation into mature cells
Death of terminally differentiated cells

This is best illustrated in the skin epithelium, where basal layer stem cells continuously divide, with daughter cells migrating upward, differentiating, and eventually shedding.

Types of Self-Renewal Division

Division Type	What Happens	When It Occurs
Asymmetric division	One daughter cell differentiates; the other stays undifferentiated and self-renews	Normal homeostasis
Symmetric division	Both daughter cells retain self-renewal capacity	Early embryogenesis (expanding stem cell pools) and under stress (e.g., bone marrow repopulation after chemotherapy)

Two Fundamental Types of Stem Cells

1. Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells

Found in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst
Most undifferentiated type; considered totipotent
Can give rise to every cell type in the body
Virtually limitless self-renewal capacity
Can be maintained in culture without differentiating; can be induced to form cells of all three germ layers under appropriate conditions

2. Tissue (Adult) Stem Cells

Found in intimate association with differentiated cells in a given tissue
Reside in specialized microenvironments called stem cell niches
Have a limited lineage potential - generally can only produce cell types normally found in that tissue

Known stem cell niches include:

Bone marrow (perivascular niches for hematopoietic stem cells)
Intestinal crypts (epithelial stem cells)
Bulge region of hair follicles
Limbus of the cornea
Subventricular zone of the brain

Key Adult Stem Cell Populations

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)

Continuously replenish all blood cell lineages
Isolated from bone marrow or peripheral blood (after colony-stimulating factor administration)
Can be purified to near-homogeneity using cell-surface markers
Clinical uses: repopulate marrow after ablative chemotherapy for leukemia; correct blood cell defects (e.g., sickle cell disease)

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

Found in bone marrow and other tissues (notably fat)
Multipotent: can differentiate into chondrocytes, osteocytes, adipocytes, and myocytes
Can be massively expanded in culture
Generate a locally immunosuppressive microenvironment - potentially useful for tissue regeneration without rejection

Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cells

A landmark advance to solve the immunologic rejection problem of transplanting ES or donor stem cells. The key steps are:

A handful of specific genes are identified whose products can reprogram fully differentiated somatic cells (e.g., fibroblasts) into stem cells
When introduced into differentiated cells, these genes generate iPS cells with the archetypal characteristics of ES cells
Because iPS cells are derived from the patient's own cells, transplantation of their differentiated progeny should not trigger immunologic rejection

Current and future uses of iPS cells:

Creating patient-specific "avatar" cell models to study disease mechanisms in vitro
Screening for novel therapeutics
Potential future therapy: generating insulin-secreting beta cells for diabetic patients

Regenerative Medicine

The field rests on the ability to identify, isolate, expand, and transplant stem cells. Key goals include restoring tissues with low intrinsic regenerative capacity, such as:

Myocardium - after myocardial infarction
Neurons - after stroke

Current limitations include:

Difficulty introducing and functionally integrating replacement cells at damage sites
Immunologic rejection of most adult and ES cells (which express HLA molecules)
iPS technology addresses the rejection problem but is not yet in routine clinical practice
