kondrogenes
Kondrogenes is a term used in developmental biology and genetics to describe the process by which cartilage is formed. This is a crucial part of skeletal development, occurring during embryonic and fetal stages and continuing to some extent throughout life for repair and growth. The formation of cartilage, known as chondrogenesis, involves a series of precise molecular and cellular events.
The process begins with mesenchymal stem cells, which are undifferentiated cells found in connective tissues. These
Once chondroblasts become embedded within this matrix, they are considered chondrocytes. These mature cells reside in
