Living organisms require complex signaling interactions and proper regulation of these interactions to influence biological processes. Of these complex networks, one of the most distinguished is the Notch pathway. Dysregulation of this pathway often results in defects during organismal development and can be a causative mechanism for initiation and progression of cancer.

- The study emphasizes the importance of mastering visual perspectives in laparoscopic surgery, focusing on a low-cost training system that simulates an angled laparoscope for skill development.
- Nine participants completed tasks to evaluate spatial adaptation to visual perspectives at 30 degrees, with measurements of time and error rate to assess performance.
- Results showed that junior residents outperformed senior residents, suggesting the training system effectively enhances basic skills needed for laparoscopic operations without the requirement of expensive equipment.
