Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of growth of an organ of an organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell growth. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the increase in size or mass of an organism occurring in, on or near the exterior of its host organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. 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 process that increases the rate of growth of all or part of an organism. Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of developmental growth. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the process by which a multicellular organism or a group of unicellular organisms grow in a threadlike, filamentous shape. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of growth of an organism to reach its usual body size. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the growth of all or part of an organism so that it occurs at its proper speed, either globally or in a specific part of the organism's development. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of growth, the increase in size or mass of all or part of an organism.
