Will CRISPR/CAS9 cure baldness?
>>
Hopefully not. Bad genetics should not be hidden.

Molecular biology major here.
At the moment it seems CRISPR can't be used to cure baldness or increase intelligence etc.
So far it is limited to fixing disorders caused by bad single base pairs or short sequences of DNA. Traits that are not completely understood or caused by a variety of genes are not feasible for CRISPR treatment

Any chance in hell of it being able to cure crohns in vivo and not just embryos? You could target either the gut lining or the immune system.
