Sepehri and Fioranelli strike again. See my previous comments on PubPeer: https://pubpeer.com/search?q=alireza+sepehri https://twitter.com/Reviewer__2/status/1286003761320611842
They have published several papers on electromagnetic waves and that the chemical structure of DNA differs between males and females.
In one paper, they claim that one can tell the gender of a fetus by infecting a pregnant woman by male or female influenza viruses. (Please don't do this! It is nonsense).

Most of those extraordinary claims were done in predatory journals. But their latest work is in a @NCBI
PubMed-indexed journal.

In this piece they claim that EM waves can result in spontaneous generation. As in, it could create Coronavirus.
To be absolutely clear: I firmly believe this is not true.

As with their previous papers it is full of pretty, meaningless cartoons, and lots of formulas that appear impressive.
I invite everyone to rip this piece apart and to urge @NCBI to ban this journal to the far end of predatory territory.

This journal, the "Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents" is very mysterious. Most of their papers are not even available online. No PDF links, just an abstract. Sometimes only the title.
It seems that no one can download the papers.

Does anyone with institutional access have a way to download these papers? I do not see any link to a PDF.

Yet, both papers are included in PubMed (PMID: 31989805 and 30334435, respectively). That means that @ncbi gave the journal a stamp of approval, right?
And here is something Even More Mysterious. If you click on the links of the papers published in this journal, you Can Not Select the Text.
It appears to be a photo of text.
This is unbelievable.
