Artificial biology is a cross‐disciplinary field that aims to mimic/reconstruct the function of natural macromolecules, organelles, cells, and small life forms, using synthetic tools. The articles in this Special Issue provide a multi‐angled view on artificial biology across the length‐scales from synthetic mimics of enzymes and antibodies to micromotors, organelles, cells, and artificial tissues. The Special Issue is introduced in article number 2003442 by guest editors Alexander N. Zelikin and Brigitte Städler.
