It is often assumed that tumor rejection is mainly the result of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) killing the tumor cells. However, recent studies have demonstrated that the rejection process is not as simple as this. In some models, tumors are rejected in the absence of lytic mechanisms (e.g. perfori
We review simple aspects of the thermodynamic and dynamical properties of systems with long-range pairwise interactions (LRI), which decay as 1/r d+ฯ at large distances r in d dimensions. Two broad classes of such systems are discussed. (i) Systems with a slow decay of the interactions, termed ''str
