- Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons can relieve motor deficits in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Clinical translation of differentiation protocols requires standardization of production procedures, and surface-marker-based cell sorting is considered instrumental for reproducible generation of defined cell products. Here, we demonstrate that integrin-associated protein (IAP) is a cell surface marker suitable for enrichment of hPSC-derived mesDA progenitor cells. Immunomagnetically sorted IAP+ mesDA progenitors showed increased expression of ventral midbrain floor plate markers, lacked expression of pluripotency markers, and differentiated into mature dopaminergic (DA) neurons in vitro. Intrastriatal transplantation of IAP+ cells sorted at day 16 of differentiation in a rat model of PD resulted in functional recovery. Grafts from sorted IAP+ mesDA progenitors were more homogeneous in size and DA neuron density. Thus, we suggest IAP-based sorting for reproducible prospective enrichment of mesDA progenitor cells in clinical cell replacement strategies. In this article, Knöbel and colleagues identified IAP as a cell surface marker for mesDA progenitor cells. Immunomagnetic sorting for IAP+ led to reproducible and homogeneous cell compositions. Intrastriatal transplantation of sorted cells at day 16 of differentiation in a PD rat model resulted in functional recovery, and grafts were more homogeneous in size and DA neuron density than unsorted cells.

- X-ray photoemission spectroscopy is a standard technique for materials characterization and the O 1s binding energy is commonly measured for oxides. Here we use density functional theory calculations to investigate how the O 1s binding energy in CeO2(111) is influenced by the presence of oxygen vacancies. The case with point vacancies in CeO2(111) is compared to complete reduction to Ce2O3. Reduction of CeO2by oxygen vacancies is found to have a minor effect on the O 1s binding energy. The O 1s binding energy is instead clearly changed when the character of the chemical bond for the considered oxygen atom is modified by, for example, the formation of OH-groups or carbonates.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Algorithmic discrete mathematics plays a key role in the development of information and communication technologies, and methods that arise in computer science, mathematics and operations research – in particular in algorithms, computational complexity, distributed computing and optimization – are vital to modern services such as mobile telephony, online banking and VoIP. This book examines communication networking from a mathematical viewpoint. The contributing authors took part in the European COST action 293 – a four-year program of multidisciplinary research on this subject. In this book they offer introductory overviews and state-of-the-art assessments of current and future research in the fields of broadband, optical, wireless and ad hoc networks. Particular topics of interest are design, optimization, robustness and energy consumption. The book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the areas of networking, theoretical computer science, operations research, distributed computing and mathematics.
