I don't actually get how gene therapy is supposed to work. Do the crispr type edits affect ongoing expression in mature cells? Could you actually change skin/eye/hair color like that n. korean badguy in that james bond movie?

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

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.
