  • Scientists develop a high-performance photoacoustic endoscopy featuring a transparent ultrasound transducer. Recently, a research team consisting of Professor Chulhong Kim from the Department of Electrical Engineering,

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 molecule, can improve the immune response when used in conjunction with the BCG vaccine. The study suggests that this approach could lead to a more potent vaccine, potentially offering better protection against TB, which remains a significant global health challenge. The findings indicate that trehalose helps in the activation of certain immune cells, thereby boosting the body's ability to fight off the bacteria that cause TB. This research opens up new avenues for vaccine development, aiming to increase the efficacy of existing vaccines through simple, cost-effective modifications.
