Single‐cell encapsulation with artificial inorganic shells can be coupled with shell‐surface functionalization. In their Communication on page 6115 ff., I. S. Choi and co‐workers report the individual encapsulation of living yeast cells within thiol‐functionalized silica shells (yellow shells). The silica shells are functionalized with biotin (green), and then are either spatioselectively immobilized onto a defined surface or complexed with streptavidin in solution (brown).
