      abstract     = {The most effective way to build structure is by using
                      rod-like building blocks, for which I will show three
                      examples in this talk. Already simple dispersions of
                      rod-like viruses display a strong shear thinning behavior,
                      so they have a very high viscosity at rest, but a very low
                      viscosity when sheared. We can understand this very
                      non-linear behavior from fist principles, combining small
                      angle neutron scattering with rheology and Smoluchowski
                      theory. The same viruses are excellent agents to induce
                      aggregation between big particles, albeit plastic beads or
                      red blood cells. The forces can be so strong that two red
                      blood cells are (reversibly) deformed to one sphere.
                      Finally, I will show how a well-chosen rheological protocol
                      can be employed to create macroscopically aligned collagen,

                      stiffness of the matrix and activity induced extra alignment
