Schematic overview of the study. AI-designed stealth protein IDP1-coated nanoparticles encapsulating carbon nanohorns and indocyanine green (IDP1-CNH/ICG) are administered intravenously and accumulate at the tumor site. An ultra-thin rigid endoscope - small enough to fit inside a standard injection needle - is then inserted directly into the tumor to deliver near-infrared laser irradiation from within, enabling efficient photothermal cancer therapy.
