  abstract  = {Micron-sized supraparticles, consisting of a plurality of discrete nano- and microscale functional units, are assembled and fused by means of a droplet extrusion process. By combining nano magnetite, activated carbon, and conductive carbon with a polymeric binder matrix, particles are obtained which unite good magnetic properties, electrical conductivity, and adsorber activity through the high accessible surface area of the incorporated activated carbon of about 570 m\(^{2}\) g\(^{-1}\), thereby enabling a new approach toward sustainable water treatment processes. Due to the interplay of the components, it is possible to adsorb target substances, dissolved in the water which is demonstrated by the adsorption of the model dye methylene blue. A very fast adsorption kinetic and an adsorption capacity of about 400 mg g\(^{-1}\) is determined. By using the developed composite particles, it is also possible to electrochemically alter substances flowing through a magnetically-stabilized fluidized-bed reactor by electrochemically charging/discharging, significantly supported by the magnetic field enabling alternatingly optimum mobility/adsorption phases with contact/charging intervals. The electrochemical conversion can be increased up to 151\% depending on the applied flow-rate and electrical voltage. By applying an external magnetic field, a further increase of electrochemical conversion of up to 70\% can be observed.},

  abstract  = {Fibrosis is a pivotal player in heart failure development and progression. Measurements of (markers of) fibrosis in tissue and blood may help to diagnose and risk stratify patients with heart failure, and its treatment may be effective in preventing heart failure and its progression. A lack of pathophysiological insights and uniform definitions has hampered the research in fibrosis and heart failure. The Translational Research Committee of the Heart Failure Association discussed several aspects of fibrosis in their workshop. Early insidious perturbations such as subclinical hypertension or inflammation may trigger first fibrotic events, while more dramatic triggers such as myocardial infarction and myocarditis give rise to full blown scar formation and ongoing fibrosis in diseased hearts. Aging itself is also associated with a cardiac phenotype that includes fibrosis. Fibrosis is an extremely heterogeneous phenomenon, as several stages of the fibrotic process exist, each with different fibrosis subtypes and a different composition of various cells and proteins — resulting in a very complex pathophysiology. As a result, detection of fibrosis, e.g. using current cardiac imaging modalities or plasma biomarkers, will detect only specific subforms of fibrosis, but cannot capture all aspects of the complex fibrotic process. Furthermore, several anti-fibrotic therapies are under investigation, but such therapies generally target aspecific aspects of the fibrotic process and suffer from a lack of precision. This review discusses the mechanisms and the caveats and proposes a roadmap for future research.},
