15-20. (canceled)
A method of making vertebrate cells encased in reversibly interlinked metal-organic framework nanoparticles, comprising:
- providing a population of vertebrate cells, a population of MOF nanoparticles and a ligand;
- and
- adding the MOF nanoparticles and ligand to the cells under conditions that allow for interconnecting the MOF nanoparticles via the ligand.
