متن کاملIntroduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملRecent advances in understanding HIV evolution
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evolves rapidly owing to the combined activity of error-prone reverse transcriptase, recombination, and short generation times, leading to extensive viral diversity both within and between hosts. This diversity is a major contributing factor in the failure of the immune system to eradicate the virus and has important implications for the development of sui...
متن کاملHIV evolution in response to HLA-restricted CTL selection pressures: a population-based perspective.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize antigenic peptides displayed by HLA class I molecules on the infected cell surface and represent a major selective force driving HIV evolution through a phenomenon known as "immune escape". Here we summarize recent advances in our understanding of the consequences of CTL escape on HIV evolution at the population level and discuss its implications for HIV ...
