Article Synopsis
- The incidence of pressure ulcers in the USA varies widely, with significant treatment costs in the billions each year for both acute and long-term care settings.
- The study involved analyzing wound fluid from chronic pressure ulcers over 42 days to identify protein expressions that could serve as healing indicators.
- Findings revealed that healing ulcers exhibited more protein spots than non-healing ones, with S100A9 identified as a potential biomarker, suggesting that understanding these differences could improve treatment approaches and lead to new therapies.
