The target cells listed for paracrine and juxtacrine signals are reversed. In the table, the target cells for paracrine signals are listed as "local cells," while the target cells for juxtacrine signals are listed as "adjacent cells." However, it is the opposite - paracrine signals act on adjacent cells while juxtacrine signals act on local cells.
