The tau protein is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein. Apart of its physiological function - the binding to and stabilization of microtubules - tau is found in Alzheimer's disease brains as insoluble fibers, the so-called "paired-helical filaments" (PHFs). 3, record 1, English, - tau%20protein

There is now very substantial evidence for the existence of a new elementary particle called the tau ... the properties of the [tau] are analogous to the properties of the electron (e) and muon ... Therefore, the [tau] has been classified as a member of the lepton particle family ... even though it is much heavier than the e or [the muon], having a mass of almost 1,800 MeV [megaelectron volt]/[c-squared]. 5, record 2, English, - tau
