Later, she returns to the fray, disguised as an English aristocrat named Eve, and humiliates Hopsie to such an excruciating extreme that, after a further switch of identity, she has no option but to fall for him all over again, and he for her.
These last four chromosomes could not be separated into two clearly distinct pairs since a switch of identity was observed from E/I to E/F and from F/J to I/J, suggesting that a translocation event has occurred between two of these chromosomes.
Her books look uncannily modern, with their stalkers, their dark switches of identity, the see-sawing between repulsion and attraction in their love-affairs and hate-affairs, their killer protagonists with whom the reader is persuaded to collude.
The switching of identities and other imposturous episodes are ever-recurrent themes of ancient myths and fairy tales and of all religions, and in literature, from its earliest beginnings, the same themes abound.
This effortless switching of identities is a crucial quality: the record is playful, but decisive.
Together, these results reveal that the neurogenic potential of rosette cultures decreases with time, with GFAP+ glial cells appearing consistently after the peak of neuronal production (Fig. 3B), indicating that a switch of progenitor identity, from neurogenic to gliogenic, occurs in these cultures.
Finally, depletion of all major NMD factors compromises ESC differentiation, thus identifying NMD as a licensing factor for the switch of cell identity in the process of stem cell differentiation and somatic cell reprograming.
While it had been assumed that differentiating cells gradually lose their plasticity during development and the terminally differentiated cells could not give rise to another cell type, this assumption has been challenged by the discovery of nuclear reprogramming that allows the switch of cell identity from one cell type to another.
Once we make the switch from talk of identity to talk of unity relations as being ethically significant, however, things can also get quite complicated.
This suggests that SOX9 expression correlates with a switch of SOX2+ve cell identity from a highly proliferative differentiative progenitor to a more quiescent stem cell.
In this study we asked whether combining global manipulation of DNA methylation and histone acetylation together with the expression of oligodendrocyte- specific TFs, was sufficient to switch the identity of fibroblasts into myelin gene-expressing cells.
