Biologics are used in many areas of prevention, treatment and diagnosis of human diseases.

Biological products refer to drugs prepared by biological materials such as microorganisms, cells, tissues and liquids of various animal and human origin obtained by biotechnology such as genetic engineering, cell engineering, protein engineering and fermentation engineering. Unlike general medical drugs, they work mainly by stimulating the body's immune system to produce immune substances (such as antibodies), involving mechanisms such as humoral immunity, cellular immunity or cell-mediated immunity. Biological products are used in a wide range of applications, including but not limited:

Drugs: including antibiotics, hormones, enzyme drugs, etc., are widely used in clinical treatment, disease prevention and health care.

Biological vaccines: vaccines prepared by using microorganisms, cell surface proteins and other materials to prevent a variety of infectious diseases, such as measles, influenza, pneumonia, etc.

Biological enzymes: Products made from protein catalyst enzymes that accelerate the process of specific chemical reactions and are used in food processing, pharmaceutical, textile, leather, paper, and environmental protection industries.

Biological fertilizer: Fertilizer products based on plants, animal residues, microorganisms, etc., promote the balance of soil ecosystem and improve the yield and quality of crops.

Bioplastics: Plastic products made from renewable materials or bio-based raw materials, used in packaging, textiles, construction and other fields, are a sustainable alternative to plastics.

Biofuels: Energy products obtained from the conversion of biomass materials such as plants, animal fats, and microorganisms, instead of traditional oil and coal, have lower carbon emissions and environmental pollution.

These biological products not only play an important role in the field of health care, but also show a wide range of applications in agriculture, environmental protection, energy and other fields.
