These papers involve some research work of Cao Xuetao and his colleagues in the State Key Laboratory of Medical Immunology and the Institute of Immunology of the Second Military Medical University. In this regard, he first thanked the skeptics. "I thank you for your interest in our work and your contribution to protecting the accuracy and scientific integrity of scientific records, which has always been the most important to me."
Cao Xuetao said that under any circumstances, there is no excuse for the mistakes made by supervisors and laboratory leaders. "Your question reminds me again how important my role and responsibility are as a tutor, supervisor and laboratory director, and what shortcomings I may have. So I feel very heavy. I am very sorry for my current and former students, staff and colleagues, colleagues and academia. I apologize for any negligence or inconvenience caused by this. "
In this regard, Cao Xuetao said that the analysis of these studies is still in progress. Based on the analysis so far and supplementary feedback from colleagues and colleagues, he wishes to add: "I still have confidence in the validity, reliability and repeatability of the scientific conclusions drawn in these papers." He also said that it was a valuable learning opportunity for himself and urged him to do better not only in promoting the development of science, but also in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of science.
