On the cover this month: Purinergic signaling pathways and their extracellular receptors specific for purines such as adenosine and ATP are evolutionarily ancient and widely distributed in human tissues. They have become increasingly well recognized as critical in immune cell biology. As such, their manipulation is being scrutinized as a means of controlling alloimmune responses. This month, Zeiser et al ( page 2781) provide a comprehensive review of this system and its potential in organ transplantation. Also, this issue highlights the 2016 Comprehensive Update of the Banff Working Group on Liver Allograft Pathology ( page 2816), and specifically introduces criteria for diagnosing antibody‐mediated liver rejection.
