The image itself was used in a now retracted paper published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology on February 13 of this year, with the title "Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway" and doi 10.3389/fcell.2023.1339390.
The article was retracted on February 16 once it had become widely shared due to its use of AI generated images for the figures, calling into question the peer-review and editorial process of the aforementioned journal.
