Biologics, also called biologicals, are drugs made from living things. Sometimes, these substances come from human donors, such as donated blood. Other times, they are grown in a laboratory. For example, scientists might grow a type of bacteria that makes a helpful substance. Then, they harvest and purify the substance to use it as medicine. The substance is usually a type of protein, but it could also be sugar, nucleic acids, or a combination of multiple substances. 4, record 1, English, - biological%20drug
