The Matryoshka theory : This unique type of shell‐in‐shell microcapsule facilitates the stable spatial separation of biopolymers (enzymes) within distinct compartments of a single capsule entity. Architecture and wall properties of this system allow for the concerted action of enzymes from separate capsule compartments by metabolite diffusion across a semipermeable, intersecting polyelectrolyte membrane.
