File:AI generated figure published in a Frontiers journal.png
Summary
| Description |
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". Español: Esta figura, generada con Midjourney, se publicó en un artículo de 2024, ahora retirado, titulado «Funciones celulares de las células madre espermatogoniales en relación con la vía de señalización JAK/STAT». Fue objeto de burlas generalizadas por su anatomía obviamente incorrecta y por el hecho de que la revista que lo publicó, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, no detectara y corrigiera el error antes de su publicación.
La figura original llevaba la leyenda «Células madre espermatogoniales, aisladas, purificadas y cultivadas a partir de testículos de rata». |
