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

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