No More Sores: An innovation could reduce deadly ulcers
From: Popular Science

Each year, 60,000 Americans die from pressure sores - ghastly open wounds
that afflict the paralyzed and others with limited mobility. Many are
wheelchair-bound: Because they are unable to shift their weight, pressure
builds up on the weight-bearing parts of their bodies. Hence the wounds,
which can lead to deadly infections. It took years of effort from three
laboratories, but help may be on the way.
