Formation of the hollow nanopillar arrays through the laser-induced transformation of TiO2 nanotubes.

abstract：:Sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors are emerging therapeutic targets. We have identified that simple ammonium salts bind to these receptors and are effective in vivo. Radioligand binding assays were used to obtain structure-activity relationships of these salts. MTS assays were performed to determine their effect on growth ...
