yes, a biosimilar is almost the same as the innovator, molecularly speaking. The most common organism used for producing these molecules are mammalian cells such as CHO. "Chinese Hamster Ovary" Cells and HEK "Human Embryonic Kidney" Cells. this is because these cells can add PTM "Post-Tranlational Modification " Very similar to human.
Well explained
Thank you.
What are biosimilars made of ? Living cells also ?
Not necessarily Living cell. Like antibodies

Thanks for the explanation.
They are occuring for purely finical reasons. Insurance companies are unethically forcing people off the innovator durg with disastrous results.
