Do the NWs present some advantage over other colloids of silver in this application?

Curious since I worked as a process engineer manufacturing electronics, and actually produced and coated AgNWs at an industrial scale in a previous job. I was mostly interested in the electrical and optical properties, and only delved into the biological stuff in so much as "is this bad for me?" I also worked a bit with other semiconducting and metallic colloids, and nearly landed a job back home near my family working with silver once again, but my industry is in a crisis so most opportunity has evaporated in recent months.
