As I read this I thought about human cell toxicity. If that can be managed or is very slight then this would be a great breakthrough. Cost is an issue.

The toxic mechanism is purely mechanical, it slices through the cell wall (membrane) and extracts phospholipids killing the cell. The effect is the same with human cells, but we have so many that the graphene ends up surrounded with serum and unable to touch more cells.
It's not something you would want to ingest or inject. Surface use on wounds and non-living surface sterilization appear to be the best use.
