Next-Generation Metabolic Reprogramming in iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes: CRISPR-EV Synergy for Precision Cardiac Regeneration.
Review in Biomolecules, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of mortality, largely due to the limited regenerative capacity of adult human myocardium. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) offer a scalable platform for cardiac repair and disease modeling; however, their persistent metabolic immaturity-characterized by reliance on glycolysis, reduced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and structurally underdeveloped mitochondria-limits functional integration and long-term therapeutic efficacy. Recent advances indicate that targeted metabolic reprogramming can enhance mitochondrial biogenesis, increase ATP production, and improve stress resilience in iPSC-CMs. This review examines the complementary integration of CRISPR-based metabolic engineering and extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated metabolic modulation as a systems-level strategy for cardiac maturation. We discuss CRISPR activation, interference, and epigenome-editing approaches targeting regulators such as PGC-1α, TFAM, and PPARs to promote stable enhancement of mitochondrial networks and respiratory capacity. In parallel, engineered EVs delivering miRNAs, metabolic enzymes, and redox modulators provide non-genomic mechanisms to optimize bioenergetic function and mitigate oxidative stress. By synthesizing mechanistic insights, quantitative bioenergetic metrics, and translational considerations, we propose CRISPR-EV synergy as a precision framework for durable metabolic maturation of iPSC-CMs, with implications for regenerative therapy, pharmacologic screening, and myocardial repair.
