This sounds like a tremendous breakthrough with great potential for many areas of application and offshoots. Is anyone researching the potential of similar attributes for treatments for burn victims, tissue rejection and tissue regeneration possibilities utilizing these concepts? Let alone-for internal use for thin membranes, arterioles, stents, reinforcements with some porous capabilities for oxygen exchange for vessel walls, etc?

Yes, indeed. Materials like this are very interesting. I once did a small amount of research into the properties of conductive foam for (finger-tip or hand) pressure sensing applications for membrane keyboards. I wonder if these guys have a development kit to distribute!
