a(HBP:"granular tau oligomers")
When the oligomer lengthens, it adapts a beta-sheet structure and transforms into a detergent-insoluble aggregate with granular appearance under Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) PubMed:28420982
As these granular tau oligomers fuse together, they form tau fibrils, which ultimately form NFTs (Takashima, 2013) PubMed:28420982
