Front Cover: On page 1321 , T. Sutherland and co‐workers present a method to produce flexible and solvent stable fibers with honeybee silk proteins. The resulting transgenically reproduced coiled coil proteins are used to obtain fibers which can be easily handled and are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications, including weaving and knitting.
