Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Cynthia Corley Mastick"
Cynthia Corley Mastick's research primarily focuses on the mechanisms of insulin-regulated glucose transport in adipocytes, specifically investigating the trafficking and translocation of the glucose transporter Glut4 within these cells.
Her studies employ various high-throughput chemical-genetics and cellular assays to elucidate additional regulatory pathways and the kinetics of Glut4 transport, identifying key factors and proteins that influence glucose uptake.
Key findings highlight that insulin enhances Glut4 translocation to the plasma membrane by modulating endocytosis and exocytosis rates, impacting glucose metabolism in adipose tissues.
