327 Virgin Olive Oil Benefits Tau PROTEIN Tau proteins (named after the Greek letter tau -τ-) are a group of six similar, highly soluble protein isoforms that play a key role in maintaining the stability of microtubules in the axons of neurons. Microtubules are narrow, hollow protein filaments that form part of the cytoskeleton in neurons and all cells. They help maintain the cell’s shape and mechanical strength, serve as tracks for the transport of organelles and certain proteins, and form the spindle apparatus responsible for chromosome separation during cell division. NEURON AXON MICROTUBULE dendrites cell body nucleus axon microtubules Tau proteins (τ protein) Tau proteins are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system. In cases of dementia and other neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, tau proteins can aggregate into insoluble, hyperphosphorylated structures (with multiple phosphate groups), forming what are known as neurofibrillary tangles. TECHNOLOGY - “big data” (macro data or massive data) A term that refers to any large volume of structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data with the potential to be analysed for useful insights. - artificial intelligence Field of science and engineering focused on creating systems or machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, decision-making, or pattern recognition. - NIRS sensors Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive analytical technique essential for studying traceability throughout the production chain. In the food sector, it has shown its capacity to analyse products without altering their properties or destroying the item, or part of it, being analysed. In addition, it is considered a clean technology, as it generates no waste.
