Identifying safe and effective CAR T cell targets in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is challenging due to the disease's complexity and overlap with normal hematopoiesis. This review highlights advances in target discovery for AML, emphasizing innovative approaches. Structural surfaceomics identifies tumor-specific protein conformations, while AI-driven single-cell RNA sequencing integrates multi-source data to pinpoint optimal targets. Refined cell surface capture technology maps the AML surfaceome without relying on predefined antibodies. These strategies enhance CAR T cell specificity and minimize off-tumor effects, offering promising pathways for safer and more effective AML treatments and broader cancer therapies.
