|
GO:0010646
|
regulation of cell communication
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell communication. Cell communication is the process that mediates interactions between a cell and its surroundings.

|
GO:0048522
|
positive regulation of cellular process
|
Any process that activates or increases 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. |
|
GO:0023051
|
regulation of signaling
|
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling process. |
|
GO:0023056
|
positive regulation of signaling

Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling process. |
|
GO:0048518
|
positive regulation of biological process
|
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. |
|
GO:0044767
|
single-organism developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition, involving only one organism. |
|
GO:0045165
|
cell fate commitment
|
The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. |
|
GO:0048869
|
cellular developmental process
|
A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. |

regulation of organ formation
|
Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of organ formation. Organ formation is the process pertaining to the initial formation of an organ from unspecified parts.
