What are non-canonical pathways?

There are special ways that things can happen inside our bodies, kind of like secret shortcuts.

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to get from one side of the playground to the other. Usually, you take the main path, maybe it's the sidewalk. That’s like what we call the canonical pathway, it's the most common way things happen.

But sometimes, there are other ways to get across. Maybe there's a slide or a tunnel that lets you go through faster or in a different way. Those are like non-canonical pathways, they're not the usual route, but they still work and can be really helpful.

Think of your body as a city with lots of roads. The main road is like the canonical pathway, it's used most of the time. But sometimes there are backstreets or highways that let you get from one place to another quicker. These are like non-canonical pathways. They're not as common, but they’re still important and can help things happen in new ways.

Sometimes, taking a different road makes everything go smoother, just like how your body can use these special routes for better results! There are special ways that things can happen inside our bodies, kind of like secret shortcuts.
