A moment of general obliviousness has been replaced by an increased sense of difference, of divergent fates between the winners and the losers.
Instead of a strong central narrative, the books provided a scaffolding out of which the imagination could construct its own — offering such wildly divergent fates as falling victim to a giant squid or winning the galactic Olympics.
When they were eventually charged with armed robbery, the friends faced divergent fates in Texas's sprawling criminal justice system.
Matthew Yglesias also disagreed with the link: "Rich countries have experienced very divergent fates over the past 36 months when the key evidence for the technological stagnation thesis is that rich countries have experienced a broadly similar fate over the past 36 years", he writes.
Recently, it has been demonstrated that the "immortal strand hypothesis" is not exclusive of self-renewing cells, but also of divisions in which daughter cells adopt divergent fates [45].
While the induction of Th1 or Th2 development by distinct Notch ligands might resemble the mechanism of fate induction mediated by cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-4, it is difficult to explain how activation of Notch receptors by its ligands could instruct divergent fates.
It led to divergent fates of internalization for the dopamine D1 receptor [25], various binding specificities for gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors, and different levels of activation of G proteins for the β2-adrenergic [26], mu-opioid [27], dopamine D2 [28], and human 5-HT2A [29] receptors.
It is conceivable that different subtypes of capillary pericytes have divergent fates, and RGS5-expression in pericytes may identify a subpopulation of newborn, proliferating pericytes.
With these methods we could also demonstrate that the measurement of positive selection is a good method to identify divergent fates of duplicated genes.
In contrast, transplantation of undifferentiated iPSCs directly into the seminiferous tubules of germ cell-depleted immunodeficient mice revealed divergent fates of iPSCs produced with different factors.
