Reactive astrocytosis (also termed astrogliosis or astrocyte reactivity) is a hallmark of CNS injury and neurodegeneration, characterized by morphological and functional changes in astrocytes in response to pathological stimuli[@pekny2014]. Once viewed as a passive response, reactive astrocytes are
