Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of the apicobasal polarity of a neuroblast cell, a progenitor of the central nervous system. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance polarization of a cell's architecture along its apical/basal axis so that the apical and basal regions of the cell have different membrane, extracellular matrix and sub-membrane cellular components. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The maintenance of established anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The specification of polarized ommatidia. Ommatidia occur in two chiral forms. The trapezoidal arrangement of photoreceptors in the dorsal part of the eye is the mirror image of that in the ventral part. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. 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. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of a polarized larval imaginal disc epithelium. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of a polarized follicular epithelial sheet. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization of epithelial cells in an embryo. The process by which cellular structures, including whole cells or cell parts, are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
