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 that modulates the surface configuration of an embryonic cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are 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 a process involved in the formation, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cell structures, including the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. Any process that modulates the surface configuration of a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell morphogenesis. Cell morphogenesis is the developmental process by which the shape of a cell is generated and organized. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of any biological process, quality or function. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of anatomical structure morphogenesis. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc.
