An isogenous group (lat. "equal origin") is a cluster of up to eight chondrocytes[1], all formed through division of a single progenitor cell, found in hyaline and elastic cartilage.[2]

Formation

[edit]

Chondrocytes, formed through a process known as Chondrogenesis, can further divide within their respective lacunae into isogenous groups of cells.[3] Isogenous groups differentiate into individual chondrocytes where they continue to produce and deposit matrix, lengthening the cartilage by a process known as interstitial growth.[3][4]
