âAbout the Lab/Branch. The Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology (LGP) explores the biology of cytokines. In particular we investigate genetic and epigenetic mechanisms used to control development of the mammary gland and liver metabolism and cancer.âââ. Principal Investigators.
In anatomy, a ganglion (/ËÉ¡Ã¦ÅÉ¡liÉn/ GANG-glee-Én; plural ganglia) is a nerve cell cluster or a group of nerve cell bodies located in the autonomic nervous system and sensory system. Ganglia house the cell bodies of afferent nerves.
A cluster of neurons is called a nucleus if found in the central nervous system; it is called a ganglion if found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Ganglia are the intermediate structures between the central and peripheral nervous systems.
