This paper evaluates Universal-Bac3Gel as a 3D matrix for studying ESKAPE pathogens, showing successful bacterial growth and species-specific biofilm formation.

Gut3Gel is a new in vitro mucus model that supports diverse intestinal microbiota growth and metabolic activity, offering a scalable platform for microbiota research.

The paper introduces TIM-2muc, a novel in vitro model that mimics the mucus-associated microbiome, showing it closely resembles the in vivo MAM and enables non-invasive study of both MAM and luminal microbiome.
