Drynaria
Drynaria
Drynaria is a fern commonly found in East Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it has shown promise in various scientific studies. In rat models of osteoporosis, Drynaria extracts have significantly increased bone mineral density and improved trabecular microarchitecture, suggesting potential benefits for bone health. Additionally, Drynaria roosii-derived exosome-like nanovesicles have promoted alveolar socket healing through activation of ITPR3-mediated calcium flux. A gel formulation from the rhizome demonstrated greater pigmentation protection factor (PPD) reduction than chlorhexidine at 2 months without significant adverse effects, indicating potential skin benefits. Seven immune-related differentially expressed genes were identified, with LEFTY1, SLPI, and INSL5 being consistently recognized as core genes across machine-learning approaches. Safety records indicate no major issues have been recorded, and there are currently no reported drug interactions associated with Drynaria.
