HORMAD1 and neoplasm: We subsequently evaluated HORMAD1 expression in hepatic tumors of 33-week-old offspring from HFD-fed dams to clarify the malignant potential of this mouse model and the role of HORMAD1 in hepatocellular carcinogenesis (Fig. 3E), and the results showed abundant tumor vascularization in synchrotron micro-CT scans (Fig. 3F), which is observed in humans with HCC37.
