    Cigarette filters are the world’s most common form of litter. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg can now show that the filters leak thousands of toxins and plastic fibres that are toxic to aquatic larvae. The researchers are therefore calling for these filters to be completely banned.

    Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, immune-mediated disease characterised by the destruction of insulin-producing cells. Standardised registry data show that type 1 diabetes incidence has increased 3–4% over the past three decades, supporting the role of environmental factors. Although several factors have been associated with type 1 diabetes, none of the associations are of a magnitude that could…

    The toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems encoded on bacterial chromosomes have long been thought to act as effectors of a cellular stress response system. LeRoux et al. find that, despite strong transcriptional induction following various stress treatments, the toxins of TA systems are not activated under these conditions.
