Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "astrocytes" to get these possible sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte
http://www.sfn.org/index.cfm?pagename=brainbriefings_astrocytes
http://members.tripod.com/blustein/Astrocytes/astrocytes.htm

In the future and for your other questions, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
