Revise textual and logical defs - brush cell

Current textual def

A cell type found in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts that is characterized by the presence of a tuft of blunt, squat microvilli (120-140 per cell). Function of this cell type is not known.

Improved definition
An epithelial cell found in various organs, including the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, characterized by a tuft of 120-140 blunt microvilli on its apical surface. This cell exhibits diverse functions depending on its location, which includes chemosensation, initiation of immune responses, contribution to mucociliary clearance, and defense against parasites.

PMID:36704202

Current logical defs
'endo-epithelial cell'

  • Link to GO tuft - Change logical defs to 'endo-epithelial cell'
    and ('has part' some 'tuft')
  • Revise textual defs - Remove Function of this cell type is not known.

Once cytospinule is available on GO - this term will be linked to 'has part' some 'cytospinule'
