Fabrication of living cellosomes of rod-like and rhombohedral morphologies based on magnetically responsive templates.

We have developed hollow multicellular structures by polyelectrolyte-mediated self-assembly of yeast cells around magnetically responsive inorganic templates and have demonstrated the cells' viability in the produced "cellosomes" after the subsequent dissolution of the core-particles.
