KSHV microRNAs mediate cellular transformation and tumorigenesis by redundantly targeting cell growth and survival pathways.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is causally linked to several human cancers, including Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease, malignancies commonly found in HIV-infected patients. While KSHV encodes diverse functional products,...
