Front Cover: The development of bioinspired macromolecular materials and systems is aimed at designing functional materials with structural hierarchies and an interplay of components on different length scales. The cover illustrates the structural hierarchies of cellulose from nanometer‐scaled fibrils in cell walls (upper right; AFM image: 1.5 µm × 2 µm) to individual cells in lengthwise‐cut bamboo (left; SEM image: 60 µm × 100 µm) and the Dendrocalamus giganteus bamboo plant in the Freiburg Botanical Garden (lower right; photograph: 60 cm × 100 cm). Further details can be found in the Essay by the guest‐editor, R. Mülhaupt, on page 121 .
