Abstract	The development of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines was the defining scientific breakthrough of the COVID-19 pandemic, fundamentally changing how we approach disease prevention and treatment. Unlike traditional vaccines that use weakened or inactive viruses, mRNA vaccines harness the power of the body's own cells, turning them into temporary protein factories to trigger a powerful immune response. Their success against COVID-19 not only saved millions of lives but also illuminated the vast potential of this technology in other fields. Scientists are now rapidly exploring whether the same revolutionary principles can be applied to two of humanity’s biggest medical challenges: cancer and HIV. This paper explains the ingenious mechanism of mRNA vaccines, details how they are being adapted to create highly personalized treatments for cancer and bring new hope for an HIV cure, and discusses the benefits, limitations, and incredible future that this technology promises for biotechnology and healthcare.
