[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2342021, member: 223921"] Synthetic human insulin was the first golden molecule of the biotech industry and the direct result of recombinant DNA technology. Currently, millions of diabetics worldwide use synthetic insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels. Synthetic insulin is made in both bacteria and yeast. That is by definition a biologic A biologic is manufactured in a living system such as a microorganism, or plant or animal cells. A drug is typically manufactured through chemical synthesis, which means that it is made by combining specific chemical ingredients in an ordered process. The insulin you inject is not an exact analogue of what your pancreas would produce. It is synthetic. [/QUOTE]
