Ultimately, it will equip individuals with tools necessary to face complex issues and learn independent thought capability.

核酸疫苗研发及应用（mRNA vaccine and its applications）：

mRNA vaccines represent a groundbreaking approach in immunization, utilizing messenger RNA to instruct cells to produce a protein of microorganisms, thereby prompting an immune response. This technology has already played a crucial role in the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines, showcasing its ability to respond quickly to emerging pathogens and help save humans' lifes. Beyond COVID-19, mRNA vaccines also hold promise for a wide range of diseases, including influenza, Zika, and even cancer, due to their adaptability and efficiency. Their success demonstrates a significant advancement in vaccine technology, potentially revolutionizing the way we do to prevent infectious diseases and to treat cancers and other dangerous diseases.
