A leading scientific journal faces humiliation after it published a completely fake paper, purportedly written by Chinese researchers, which contained AI generated images of a rat with a penis bigger than its own body...The Telegraph reports that the journal Frontiers in Cell and Development Biology published a paper that claimed to show the signalling pathway of sperm stem cells, but depicted a rat sitting upright with a massive #### and four giant testicles.

It’s been posted before.

It was taken down every time it was posted....................I don’t know why..............

Thanks for the death penalty update, Red Badger.

Actually, the hugely enlarged illustration of a small specific area is common in medical journals.

However, the illustrations of micro structures in this link are completely fake, and the anatomical names of those structures are also completely fake.

Peer-reviewed articles are the reason “climate change” is “settled science.”
