Han Chunyu's team agreed to withdraw the research results published in the journal Nature-Biotechnology. It seems that when the media reported that some scientists' views were different from those published by Han Chunyu, Nature-Biotechnology was not influenced by the outside world during the investigation. After a series of careful investigations, the conclusion is that the manuscript was withdrawn, and the development direction of the whole incident is very stable, so it is considered that this incident embodies the scientific social vitality.

Han Chunyu published an article on gene editing by NgAgo technology in Nature-Biotechnology, which caused a sensation in the scientific community. However, when later scientists used the research results in this article to carry out experiments, they found that they could not reach the same conclusion in this article, so more and more people began to doubt the accuracy of the research results in this article, and a large number of media reported the incident. Among these questions, some people think that Han Chunyu's research should be re-investigated, or ask Han Chunyu to withdraw the article.

However, in the face of many doubts, Nature-Biotechnology did not make any hasty decision, but immediately launched an investigation on the research results of Han Chunyu's team and published the whole investigation process. Nature-Biotechnology mentioned that Han Chunyu's team was indeed able to provide a set of data to confirm the survey results, but these data were too preliminary and did not meet the publishing conditions, and then Han Chunyu's team was given enough time to provide data to support its research conclusions, but in the end Han Chunyu could not get enhanced data. Therefore, Nature-Biotechnology thinks that withdrawing Han Chunyu's paper is the best way.

Judging from the whole process of the incident, in the face of media reports, Nature-Biotechnology embodies the significance of maintaining scientific authority when dealing with things, and is not influenced by media or public pressure, but actively maintains scientific authority. Therefore, Han Chunyu's retraction incident highlights the social vitality of science.
