Need to send viable cells overseas and I'm worried about customs delays and temperature excursions ruining the whole shipment. For people who do this regularly, what actually keeps samples alive end to end?
I've been suffering from chronic back pain for the past 6 years, so I decided to consult Dr. Harish Grover hoping to finally understand what was causing it.
During my first visit, I was shown a few basic exercises and charged ₹6,500 for the consultation. I was then advised to enroll in a 9-day treatment program that would cost ₹5,000 per day (around ₹45,000 in total).
Before committing to such an expensive treatment, I asked whether it was likely to solve my problem. I didn't receive a clear answer. Instead, I was told to get a few medical tests done. I spent another ₹2,500 on those tests and came back with the reports about a month later.
At the follow-up appointment, I was told that everything looked normal from Dr. Harish Grover's perspective and that I should consult a neurosurgeon.
That was the most disappointing part for me. If my condition required a neurosurgeon, I wish I had been referred there from the beginning. Instead, I spent around ₹9,000 without getting a diagnosis or a treatment plan that actually addressed my back pain.
I don't mind paying for good medical care, but I do expect clarity about my condition and whether a treatment is actually appropriate before being asked to consider spending another ₹45,000. The whole experience left me feeling that the focus was more on recommending a costly treatment package than on identifying the real cause of my pain. That's simply how it felt from my perspective.
I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience, so I'm genuinely curious has anyone else consulted Dr. Harish Grover? Did the treatment help you, or was your experience similar to mine?

I've been dealing with chronic back pain for the last 6 years, so I booked an appointment with Dr. Harish Grover hoping to finally find the root cause.
During my first visit, I was shown only 2–3 basic exercises and was charged ₹6,500 for the consultation. I was then advised to take a 9-day treatment program costing ₹5,000 per day (around ₹45,000 total).
I asked if this treatment would actually fix my problem, but I didn't get a clear answer. Instead, I was asked to get a few medical tests done. I spent another ₹2,500 on those tests and returned about a month later.
At the follow-up appointment, I was told that, from Dr. Harish Grover's side, everything looked normal and that I should consult a neurosurgeon instead.
I left feeling frustrated because I had already spent around ₹9,000 without getting a diagnosis or a treatment plan that addressed my back pain. Looking back, I feel I could have been referred to a neurosurgeon much earlier instead of spending money on consultations and tests that didn't bring me any closer to an answer.
I also couldn't shake the feeling that there was more emphasis on recommending an expensive treatment package than on first identifying the actual cause of my pain. That's just my personal impression based on my experience.
I'm sharing this to see if anyone else has consulted Dr. Harish Grover for chronic back pain. Was your experience similar, or did you have a better outcome?
We are designing an I-O study that requires fresh PBMCs, matched tumor tissue, and longitudinal blood draws from cancer patients. Standard biobanks seem set up for one-time archive pulls, not complex prospective collection.
Anyone worked with a CRO that can handle the full scope of this kind of project?.

China on Social Media vs. China in Reality Across social media platforms, China is often portrayed through gleaming skyscrapers, futuristic infrastructure, and visually stunning urban landscapes. These representations highlight the country’s rapid modernization and technological progress. However, beyond the curated lens, many regions continue to face persistent challenges such as waste management issues, environmental pollution, and urban overcrowding. These factors remain critical considerations in assessing holistic development. True progress extends beyond impressive infrastructure. It encompasses sustainability, environmental responsibility, public health, and an improved quality of life for citizens. This contrast raises an important question: how should we define and measure real development in the modern world? What are your thoughts on this perspective?
The Centre has ordered access to messaging app Telegram restricted across India until June 22, a step the National Testing Agency (NTA) says is meant to shield candidates sitting the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination on June 21 from cheating rackets operating on the platform.
A seismic political and religious storm has erupted in Punjab after the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, officially declared Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann a “Guru-Dokhi” (Guru-traitor) and “Khalsa Panth Virodhi” (anti-community). Pronounced from the platform of the Akal Takht by the Sikh clergy led by Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj, the strict decree directs the entire Sikh community to socially, religiously, and publicly shun all ties with the Chief Minister. This extreme escalation follows a highly contentious investigation into an alleged viral video from last year that appears to show a man resembling the Chief Minister disrespecting images of the Sikh Gurus by splashing alcohol on them. While Mann and the ruling Aam Aadmi Party have vehemently maintained that the footage is fake and perhaps fabricated, the Akal Takht revealed that two independent, government-recognized forensic laboratories have authenticated the video, asserting it shows no signs of tampering or artificial intelligence generation. The fallout from this decree is already sending shockwaves through Punjab’s political landscape, especially with key municipal and assembly elections on the horizon. Beyond the direct condemnation of the Chief Minister, the Akal Takht has expanded its crosshairs by summoning the entire Punjab Cabinet alongside all Sikh MLAs across different political parties to appear at the supreme seat on June 29 regarding a controversial amendment to the Satkar Act
Nagpur, Maharashtra: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari says, “Last night at 8 PM, I signed the file, finalising the regulations to legally authorise the use of 100% ethanol.
I am delighted to share that I, along with Hardeep Singh Puri, had the opportunity to launch the 100% ethanol-compatible version of the WagonR—Maruti Suzuki’s best-selling car.
Regarding motorcycles, Hero MotoCorp which accounts for three out of every five motorcycles sold has launched two flex-fuel models capable of running on 100% ethanol. Following this, companies like Toyota, Suzuki, MG, and Hyundai will launch 100% ethanol-compatible vehicles within the next month and a half.
Thus, ethanol will serve as a viable alternative to petrol. People used to laugh when I spoke of this dream, and some friends even criticised it...Soon, we will launch a pilot project in Nagpur featuring a hydrogen pump and two hydrogen-powered buses.
The public will be able to ride these hydrogen buses, which will be powered by green hydrogen extracted from water using an electrolyser. That day is now near.”
