Chondrogenesis is the biological process through which cartilage tissue is formed and developed. This intricate and tightly regulated cellular differentiation pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development, as cartilage serves as a fundamental component of the embryonic skeleton. The term "chondrogenesis" is derived from the Greek words "chondros," meaning cartilage, and "genesis," meaning origin or formation.[1]
