Inspired by eggshells in nature , living yeast cells were conferred with an artificial mineral coat by using a combination of the layer‐by‐layer (LBL) treatment with functional polymers and in situ biomimetic mineralization. The resulting hard inorganic shells have a tremendous effect on the storage, protection, delivery, and modification of the cells.
