"Oocyte maturation" refers to the process by which an immature egg cell, called an oocyte, develops and matures into a mature egg that is capable of being fertilized by a sperm.

To find out more about the pathway's role
in oocyte maturation, Nick Duesbery, a postdoc in Vande Woude's lab, was seeking compounds that block MAPK's activity.
