Understanding Biologics: Biologics are a class of therapeutic agents derived from living organisms, such as cells, tissues, or proteins. Unlike traditional small molecule drugs, which are chemically synthesized, biologics are produced through complex biotechnological processes, often involving recombinant DNA technology.
