Cool, we can only show stories where it worked
Human clinical trials are pre-registered, in order to prevent exactly what you are describing (the 'file drawer problem').
Not in all countries, just ask CCP

Proteins and things built by proteins. Teeth aren't very protein-y.
Why can’t we hardwire genes to continue growing teeth?
Because we have specialized diverse teeth. Of course it's possible but that would be novel genetic programming which we just can't do.

If we could convert Sahara back into a savannah or farms, the amount of carbon required for the new soil and plants would exceed the amount of extra carbon we have added to the atmosphere so far. And there are many viable routes to do that. E.g. building large number of ocean thermal energy conversion plants [1] to reduce temperature of the north hemisphere, recreating conditions that have caused green Sahara in the…
So there’s one minor problem with the Sahara…
There was a minor problem with stating in air, having plants with large edible parts, talking with people far away. Science and engineering have helped with all these minor problems, and they can help with the new one if we spend money on geoengineering research instead of wasting it on inefficient "clean energy".
