Nanomechanics and protein bio-expression strongly correlate with Euclidean topology of cell morphogenetic bio-structures. An experimental and mathematical magazine was established to control physiology and pathology with chorionic proteins. Cell morphology and local nanomechanics are linked to the expressions of chorionic proteins in Drosophila melanogaster. Down-regulation of s38 and s36 proteins has the consequence of severely disorganized eggshell surface patterning, lacking thus typical follicular imprinting parameters.
