American Journal of Transplantation: Volume 16, Number 8, August 2016

On the cover this month: In June, the White House opened its doors to the organ transplant community, announcing a major effort to improve donor organ availability and reduce the wait time for people awaiting transplantation. This month, we focus on this important event with a special AJT Report and an editorial from the leadership of the AST and ASTS ( page 2245). We also highlight a study from Axelrod et al ( page 2453) showing the wide degree of variability in immunosuppressive drug choice following renal transplant. After 60 years of clinical transplantation, we still have no true standard of care. Cover design by Lauren Halligan, Department of Surgery, Duke University .
