Scientists have developed a unique nanolaser. Although the dimensions of this laser are so small that its structure can only be seen through a powerful microscope, its potential is vast. With applications in early medical diagnostics,
The article from ScienceDaily discusses a study published in the journal *Nature Communications* that explores the potential of using a common food additive, trehalose, to enhance the effectiveness of the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Researchers found that trehalose, a sugar naturally present in some foods and used as a food additive, can improve the immune response when combined with the BCG vaccine. This enhancement occurs because trehalose helps in the better presentation of mycobacterial antigens to the immune system, potentially leading to a more robust and long-lasting immunity against TB. The study suggests that this approach could be a cost-effective way to boost vaccine efficacy, particularly in regions where TB is prevalent.
