capsulated
Held in casing
Capsulated means enclosed in a capsule or capsule-like covering.
In biology, it describes organisms or structures surrounded by a protective membrane: capsulated bacteria, capsulated tumors.
The word functions identically to encapsulated, though the latter is more common in both scientific and general usage.
