“…Another approach is based on the utilization of a mixture of colloidal silica particles (Ludox Ò ) and/or diluted sodium silicate solution [53,54]. Using these aqueous precursors, a pioneer work has been achieved by the Livage group [55,56]. E. coli bacteria were successfully encapsulated into silica matrixes (Fig.…”

“…Yeast spores and bacteria have been recently immobilized within silica gels, where they retain their enzymatic activity [69][70][71][72][73]. Nassif et al devised a method for the entrapment of bacteria (Escherichia coli) in silica gels, and demonstrated that the resulting mineral environment was more advantageous for cell survival than aqueous suspension.…”

Unlike eggs and diatoms, most single cells in nature do not have structured shells to provide extensive protection. It is a challenge to artificially confer shell structures on living cells to improve their inherent properties and functions. We discuss four different types of cellular shellizations: man-made hydrogels, sol-gels, polyelectrolytes, and mineral shells. We also explore potential applications, such as cell storage, protection, delivery, and therapy. We suggest that shellization could provide another means to regulate and functionalize cells. Specifically, the integration of living cells and non-living functional shells may be developed as a novel strategy to create "super" or intelligent cells. Unlike biological approaches, this material-based bio-interface regulation is inexpensive, effective, and convenient, opening up a novel avenue for cell-based technologies and practices.
