On the cover this month: Intestinal transplantation remains a challenging procedure, both technically and immunologically. Over the past decade and in contrast to most organs, the number of intestinal transplants performed has steadily declined, reflecting the significance of these challenges and improvements in alternative therapies. Debra Sudan reviews the current, dynamic state of intestinal transplantation on page 1976 . Also see the meeting report on page 1992 for recommendations on posttransplant diabetes mellitus.
