Summary for those who don't want to watch the whole thing: the effects wore off slightly over time, but he is down to a more normal level of lactose intolerance, as opposed to the extreme level he was before. So there is still long-term benefit.

This was expected. Gene therapy isn't necessarily permanent.

Probably didnt do it right and it is supposed to be somewhat permanent... I will say cells can accumulate dna mutations over time due to environmental factors and faulty dna replication... Idk if 5 years is long enough... He probably didnt have enough dna editing viral vector

Gene therapy is as permanent as it gets... It may not necessarily be permanent because of the epigenome and because of poor dna replication... Dna replication isnt 100% accurate

Not all cells in the body are affected so it’s likely that the cells that got the gene died and were replaced by cells without the gene.

Thought Emporium is the first thing I ever Patreoned, and he's still cranking out premium content at a legendary rate. Everything he does is cool as shit. I've spent days watching his videos. He does these multi hour long live streams where he builds plasmids with Benchling for doing super random edits, like the time he made onions that don't give you tears when you cut into them.
