mixtures produced through biotechnology in a
living system, such as a microorganism, plant cell,
or animal cell that are not easily identified or
characterized
•Biologics "represent the cutting-edge of
biomedical research and, in time, may offer the
most effective means to treat a variety of medical
illnesses and conditions that presently have no
other treatments available" (FDA, 2018). - answer
