Yeast wears a silica coat : Various living cells were individually coated with silica using layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly and biomimetic silicification (see picture). The viability of yeast cells was found to be enhanced threefold after silica encapsulation, and their cell division could be suppressed by encapsulation.
