As for other ambient calculi static program analysis can be used to compute safe approximations of the behavior of modelled systems. We use these tools to model and analyse the production of cholesterol in living cells and show that we are able to pinpoint the difference in behaviour between models of healthy systems and models of mutated systems giving rise to known diseases." }
