| Abstract |
Signal transduction pathways play a key role in the regulation of cell growth, cell differentiation, cell survival, apoptosis, and immune responses. Bacterial and viral pathogens utilize the cell signal pathways by encoding their own proteins or noncoding RNAs to serve their survival and replication in infected cells. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is classified as a rhadinovirus in the γ-herpesvirus subfamily and was the eighth human herpesvirus to be discovered from Kaposi's sarcoma specimens. KSHV is closely associated with an endothelial cell malignancy, Kaposi's sarcoma, and B-cell malignancies, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman's disease. Recent studies have revealed that KSHV manipulates the cellular signaling pathways to achieve persistent infection, viral replication, cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and evasion of immune surveillance in infected cells. This chapter summarizes recent developments in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms used by KSHV to interact with the cell signaling machinery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 June 2018.
All research outputs
#15,536,861
of 23,090,520 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#2,526
of 4,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#270,129
of 442,629 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#111
of 237 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,090,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,976 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,629 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 237 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
