This study establishes patient-derived KS xenografts that maintain KSHV infection and recapitulate KS tumor gene signatures, enabling analysis of tumor microenvironment cell communications.

This study identifies EphA4 and EphB3 as functional entry receptors for MHV68, demonstrating their role in viral infection and highlighting their potential as targets for neutralizing antibodies.

This paper develops fluorescent KSHV strains and a hybrid RRV expressing KSHV gB to show low pH is required for KSHV membrane fusion during endocytosis.

This study shows that glycoprotein K8.1 is critical for KSHV tissue tropism in marmosets, but not for initial infection.

This paper identifies Tim-1 and Tim-4 as mediators of KSHV and RRV entry, showing their role in viral infection and highlighting their unique function compared to other herpesviruses.
