Not only that.
The JAK "pathway" is complete gibberish. The third figure is a pool of random spheres in "differentiation" steps.
The whole Frontiers publishing group is widely seen in academia as worthless, however, since most promotion committees just count the number of publications no matter where they may be, they continue to publish anything and make bank.
- Fomite 3y agoThis has not been my experience with any of the promotion committees I've been on. But Frontiers has been off my list since Frontiers in Public Health published a number of AIDS denialism papers. And yeah, every figure in this paper is nonsensical garbage.
- hermitcrab 3y agoIs the text garbage as well? I don't have any knowledge of the subject area.
- Fomite 3y agoIt's not my field, but it doesn't feel like garbage. Interestingly, the authors do disclose they used Midjourney.
- sam537 3y agoThe text was ok, I do not know anything about spermatogenesis but a fair bit about the JAK/STAT pathway. The abstract was pure LLM, however. It has been retracted.
