Since the beginning of the 20th century, effects of high pressure on biological systems have been studied, but the first applications in this domain have been developed in the 90's and concerned the preservation of food-stuff. Hence, much research work has been undertaken in order to develop high pressure effects in Biosciences. In the last decade, new methods or processes using high pressure (obtaining therapeutic molecules; decontamination or sterilization of biological stuff, sensitive drugs and drug carriers; development of vaccines; using high pressure as a tool in order to simulate and explore the mechanisms of proteins aggregation) underlining the potentialities of this technology in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and optic nerve damage, often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors crucial for neuroprotection, as they regulate gene expression to promote neuronal survival via several biochemical networks and reduce neuroinflammation. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of 9-cis-13,14-dihydroretinoic acid (9CDHRA), an endogenous retinoid RXR agonist, in mitigating RGC degeneration in a high-IOP-induced experimental model of glaucoma.

Background: Heart valve function requires a highly organized ECM (extracellular matrix) network that provides the necessary biomechanical properties needed to withstand pressure changes during each cardiac cycle. Lay down of the valve ECM begins during embryogenesis and continues throughout postnatal stages when it is remodeled into stratified layers and arranged according to blood flow. Alterations in this process can lead to dysfunction and, if left untreated, heart failure.

High pressure injection injuries to upper extremities are largely rare occurrences. The direct and indirect effects of the injected substance can cause debilitating consequences for those affected and can lead to digit amputation. This case series includes three patients with high pressure injection injuries admitted to a single tertiary centre over one year.

Molybdenum carbide (MoC) has emerged as a subject of considerable research interest as an intrinsically Pt-like electronic and cost-effective alternative to platinum-based catalysts for the sustainable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, a high carbonization temperature can easily cause the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Therefore, we employed a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-assisted synthesis strategy, obtaining MoC/CN-T nanoparticles by calcining the precursor Mo-ZIF at high temperature and low pressure.
