      abstract     = {Colloidal rods form a very attractive alternative to
                      polymers for the use as depletants, as they have a high
                      excluded volume at low volume fractions. Thus, issues
                      encountered in colloid-polymer mixtures can be prevented,
                      such as the need of high amounts  for little effective
                      attraction due to  surface roughness of the colloidal
                      particle or the limited range of interactions. In this
                      presentation I will first introduce the phase diagram of
                      model mixtures of colloidal spheres with use fd virus, a
                      very slender rod-like bacteriophage. I will show how the
                      phase boundaries depend on size ratio and charge. I will
                      apply this knowledge on mixtures of red blood cells and fd
                      virus, addressing the question whether the formation of
                      stacks of red blood cells is due to specific interactions or
                      depletion. For both systems I will also discuss what happens
                      when these systems are subjected to shear flow. Here the
                      competition between hydrodynamic and thermodynamic
                      interactions leads to rich non-equilibrium phase behavior.},
