Metamaterials are artificial materials with unique structures that can achieve special properties. In breast cancer research, the invisibility of glutathione peroxidase 2 (GPx2) has attracted attention for its significant role in cancer cell signaling and patient survival. The study discovered various designs of invisible metamaterials and successfully realized a multifunctional hydrodynamic metamaterial, which may have potential applications in tissue engineering and drug release.
