The increase in size or mass of a skeletal muscle. This may be due to a change in the fiber number or size. The increase in heart capillaries that accompanies physiological hypertrophy of cardiac muscle. The increase in size or mass of the prostate gland where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the gland, from its formation to its mature state. The growth phase of the hair cycle. Lasts, for example, about 3 to 6 years for human scalp hair. An increase in size of a blastocyst due to expansion of the blastocoelic cavity cell shape changes and cell proliferation. Growth of the egg chamber between the time it leaves the germarium and the onset of vitellogenesis. During this time both nurse cells and the oocyte undergo developmental changes including nuclear organization and cytoplasmic growth. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. The regrowth of lost or destroyed tissues. The increase in size or mass of an anatomical structure that contributes to the structure attaining its shape. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of developmental growth. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. Increase in size of antral follicles due to cell proliferation and/or growth of the antral cavity. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. The increase in size or mass of the spongiotrophoblast layer of the placenta where the increase in size or mass contributes to the progression of that layer over time from its formation to its mature state. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of developmental growth. The increase in size or mass of a meristem, a region of tissue in a plant that is composed of one or more undifferentiated cells capable of undergoing mitosis and differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of developmental growth. The growth of a synapse at a neuromuscular junction, the site of apposition of a motor end plate and the subneural cleft of the skeletal muscle fiber that it innervates. The increase in mass of imaginal discs by cell proliferation prior to metamorphosis. Imaginal discs are epithelial infoldings in the larvae of holometabolous insects that develop into adult structures (legs, antennae, wings, etc.) during metamorphosis from larval to adult form. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell.
