A young cartilage-producing cell that creates the cartilage matrix and helps build cartilage tissue.
From 'chondro-' (cartilage) + Greek 'blastos' (bud, germ, young cell), literally describing a 'cartilage bud' or immature cartilage cell.
Chondroblasts are your body's cartilage architects—they actively build the cushioning material in your joints, which is why teenagers can heal broken cartilage better than adults!
