On the cover this month: AJT presents the output from the 2017 Banff consortium for kidney allograft pathology (Haas et al, page 293), including revisions to the diagnostic criteria for T cell– and antibody‐mediated kidney transplant rejection, specific criteria for chronic active T cell–mediated rejection, and prospects for integrative endpoints in clinical trials. Two Original Articles from Nankivell et al ( page 364) and Lefaucheur et al ( page 377) influence the new Banff recommendations regarding the relationship between T cell–mediated rejection and areas of interstitial scarring. We also present a new Banff classification for tissue engineering pathology in bioengineered organs and tissues for transplantation that will increasingly be used as prosthetic devices and tissue engineering become more common. Finally, be sure to read the “What's Hot, What’s New” feature from the 2017 American Transplant Congress! Cover image by Lauren Halligan, Duke University Department of Surgery .
