This nanodevice is a simple virus adsorption membrane that does not have a self-controlling function, and we are not considering using it for any use other than antivirus applications. Although we do not foresee any obvious danger, SLUGGER is a nanomolecule that is freely released in vivo, so it may cause damage to phagocytes, cause inflammation, or have unexpected effects. In addition, since the origami surface is rich in sialic acid, it will be negatively charged and this may have some unexpected effects in vivo.
It is necessary to pay close attention to prevent any misuses, and to further consider possible issues with the manufacturing process of our SLUGGERS.
