Any process that modulates the size of a cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell growth. A process that modulates the size of a cellular component. 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 activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell growth. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one or more axes, where the growth rate varies according to the direction of growth. Growth may be limited to a particular axis, axes, or to particular locations on the surface of the cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell growth. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size in one [spatial] dimension or along one axis, resulting in the morphogenesis of the cell. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size uniformly in all directions. In general, a rounded cell morphology reflects isotropic cell growth. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size in two or three [spatial] dimensions or along two or three axes. 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 process by which the size of the nucleus with respect to its cytoplasm is sensed by a cell. A pattern of cell growth that occurs in conditions of nitrogen limitation and abundant fermentable carbon source. Cells become elongated, switch to a unipolar budding pattern, remain physically attached to each other, and invade the growth substrate. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size over time by accretion and biosynthetic production of matter similar to that already present. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell.
