December is a beautiful month filled with love, warmth and celebration with our near and dear ones. The world is slowly getting ready for the Christmas and many of us have already started packing gifts for our beloveds.

In November men all over the world grow mustaches to raise awareness of men’s health issues.

There has been significant interest in the role of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in modulating immune responses. The emergence of PD-1-targeted therapies has revolutionized cancer treatment, leading to a better understanding of immune checkpoint mechanisms and their uses in various research fields.

Congratulations! You have collected your urine sample. What do you do now? Do you…

1. Leave it at room temperature and risk degradation of precious DNA and RNA
2. Freeze it at -80°C and lose yield due to protein precipitation
3. Use a preservative (hint, it’s this one)
