 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

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
editChondrocytes, 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]
