The distinct nerve wiring of human memory

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 various organisms, can improve the immune response when used in conjunction with the BCG vaccine. The study showed that trehalose helps in boosting the vaccine's ability to stimulate a stronger and more durable immune reaction, potentially offering better protection against TB. This discovery could lead to the development of more effective TB vaccines, which is crucial given the global health burden of tuberculosis.
