The temperature dependence of the resistivity r(T) of the novel Sr2.5Ca11.5Cu24O41 ladder compound under hydrostatic pressure of up to 8 GPa has been explained by assuming that the relevant length scale for electrical transport is given by the magnetic correlation length related to the opening of a spin-gap in a 1D even-chain spin-ladder (1D-SL). The pressure dependence of the gap was extracted by applying this model to r(T) data obtained at different pressures. The r(T) dependence of the underdoped cuprate YBa2Cu4O8 demonstrates a remarkable scaling with the r(T) of the 1D-SL compound Sr2.5Ca11.5Cu24O41. This scaling implies that underdoped cuprates at Tc < T < T* are in the 1D regime and their pseudo-gap below T* is the spin-gap in the even-chain 1D-SL formed at T < T* in these materials.
