Any process that modulates the size of a 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 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. 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.
