The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization of an epithelial cell. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization that contributes to the self-propelled directed movement of an ameboid cell. 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. The specification of the site where a daughter cell will form, in organisms that reproduce by budding. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its apical/basal axis. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The specification and formation of the apicobasal polarity of a neuroblast cell, a progenitor of the central nervous system. Any process that set the alignment of spindle relative to other cellular structures. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Any cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization or cell growth patterns. The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its proximal/distal axis. The directed orientation of lymphocyte signaling molecules and associated membrane rafts towards a chemokine gradient or a contact point with an appropriate activating cell. The cellular process that results in the specification, formation or maintenance of anisotropic intracellular organization that results in the directional division of a growth plate cartilage chondrocyte.
