The process of cartilage formation and development, where special cells build the cartilage matrix.
From Greek 'chondros' (cartilage) + 'genesis' (origin/creation), a biological term describing the developmental process of cartilage formation.
During chondrogenesis in a developing embryo, specific genes turn on that tell cells 'start making cartilage'—it's like flipping a switch that activates a whole assembly line of tissue production.
