Scientific figure showing experiments in fruit flies testing cell ablation with Ronidazole and Nitroreductase. Top panels: images of adult flies with normal eyes vs. reduced or absent eyes after treatment, quantified in a bar graph. Middle panels: fluorescent images of eye discs showing GFP-labeled cells and Dcp1 staining, with increased cell death after treatment. Bottom panels: brain images showing targeted ablation of insulin-producing cells and cortex glia, confirmed by loss of GFP and presence of Dcp1. Graphs show significant reduction in specific cell types with Ronidazole treatment.
