Def from cell ontology:
[Term] id: CL:0000127 name: astrocyte def: "A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system - the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from \"star\" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes\, including those with \"end feet\" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the blood-brain barrier. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment\, and \"reactive astrocytes\" (along with microglia) respond to injury." [MESH:A.08.637.200] is_a: CL:0000126 ! macroglial cell

Hi,
I would like to add a new term:
astrocite glial cell migration The orderly movement of sub-type of the glial cells, that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system. Astrocytes are classically identified histologically by their expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).
[i] glia cell migration; GO:0008347; [i] astrocte cell migration; GO:new;
Synonym: astrocytic glial cell migration
