  • Researchers have developed microchips using field-effect transistors that can detect multiple diseases from a single air sample with high sensitivity. The technology enables rapid testing and could lead to portable diagnostic devices for home and medical use.

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. 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.
