Relaxin 2 carried by magnetically directed liposomes accelerates rat midpalatal suture expansion and subsequent new bone formation

Relaxin (RLN) is an insulin-like peptide hormone that enables softening and lengthening of the pubic symphysis and uterine cervix. Here, we analyzed the effects of RLN2 on the expansion of rat midpalatal suture (MPS) using a magnetically directed liposome-based drug delivery system. Thirty-six male...
