I have a large number of citations in the format

Dadrichetal2015,

Author = {Dadrich, M. and Nicolay, N.H. and Flechsig, P. and  Bickelhaupt, S. and 

Hoeltgen, L. and Roeder, F. and Hauser, K. and Tietz, A. and Jenne, J. and Lopez, R. 

and Roehrich, M. and Wirkner, U. and Lahn, M. and Huber, P.E.},

Title = {Combined inhibition of TGF$beta$ and PDGF signaling attenuates radiation- 

induced pulmonary fibrosis.},

Journal = {Oncoimmunology},

Volume = {5},

Year = {2015},

note = {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=dadrich+M%2C+Oncoimmunology}}

In a .bib file. I am having enormous trouble making the .bib file work, and have decide to just do it manually. Is there a way for me to move the citations from the .bib to the .tex, have them display properly without having to basically rewrite all my citations?

(too long for a comment, hence posted as an answer)

You asked,

Is there a way to take the [bibliographic entries] from my bibtex file and move them into my tex file without having to change the formatting?

The short answer is, "No".

The long answer is, "Unless you want to do the equivalent of reinventing the wheel, the answer is No."

You haven't stated what exactly "doesn't work" about the bib entry. The following setup, though, works fine. The main creative act you'll have to perform is pick a suitable bibliography style; abbrvnat is just one of many, many possible choices.

Note that I

• added some pairs of curly braces in the author field to prevent BibTeX from
  lowercasing some words,


• replaced beta with upbeta,


• changed the note field to url, and


• replaced the URL string with information provided by the journal directly.

The code also loads the xurl and hyperref packages. To compile this document, be sure to run LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more on it.
