DescriptionAI generated figure published in a Frontiers journal.png
English: Generated with Midjourney, this figure was published in a now-retracted 2024 paper Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway. It was widely mocked for its obviously incorrect anatomy and failure for its publishing journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology to spot and correct the error before publishing.
The original figure was captioned as "Spermatogonial stem cells, isolated, purified and cultured from rat testes".
