Too complex for tweets. Various ways of getting new genes in / editing existing genes in cells, delivering payload to target cells, different effects/tradeoffs. I'm working on designing gene therapy cure for diabetes. Will provide reference to review article(s) later.

Also, generally, morphological changes will be very hard, and in mature tissues, all the more hard. (Meant morphology in the sense of e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Basis_of_Morphogenesis … not relatively trivial edge cases like global skin pigmentation.)

Isnt there some stat that your body is completely new every 7 years or so? Constantly replacing, albeit with more faults with age.

1. Edits do affect expression in mature cells, but uniform delivery across a cell population is big challenge, so strategy should not rely on it. 2. Darkening skin color would be easy by producing more MSH; haven't thought about other hacks. Cf. http://www.the-odin.com/diyhumancrispr/
