Key excerpts:

* Graphene oxide (GO) is the  most  extensively  explored  in  biomedicine.  Various  groups  have  shown  how  GO  sheets  interact  with  biological  systems  and fully characterize their toxicological, biodegradability, and  tissue  distribution  profiles  by  detailed  in  vitro  and  in  vivo  experiments.[34–38]

* The  current  study  aims  to  offer  a  combined  in  silico  and  in vitro  analysis  to  interrogate  whether  GO  sheets  can  be  consid-
ered as a nanomaterial platform able to interact effectively with specific  SARS-CoV-2  surface  proteins  and  receptors  leading to  an  inhibitory  action.  [IN SILICO means using a computer simulation]

* RE SARS-CoV-2 exposure:
when  cells  were  exposed  to  GO prior to viral treatment in the context of a pre-infection pro-tocol  closer  to  a  preventive  clinical  senario,  --pronounced  viral inhibition  was  observed  compared  to  a  post-infection  protocol in  vitro.--
