Creation of largest-ever protein that self-assembles into a molecular 'cage' has opened doors for the production of synthetic vaccines that protect people from flu, HIV and other diseases.

At a size hundreds of times smaller than a human cell, it also could lead to new methods of delivering pharmaceuticals inside of cells, or to the creation of new nanoscale materials.
