Optimizing silica encapsulation of living cells: In situ evaluation of cellular stress

The encapsulation of living cells in materials with good optical and mechanical properties often produces death or stress due to the release of toxic byproducts originated during the synthesis. We present here a method to assess the cellular stress that silica entrapment exerts over living cells tak...
