Liposome surface modifications serve great potential applications of liposomes, for instance, increasing stability, bioactive liposome conjugates, and targeted drug, gene, and image agent delivery. In this study, novel targeted lipopolymers, peptide 18/peptide 563-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-dioleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (P18/P563-PEtOx-DOPE), have been demonstrated to be successfully synthesized. The structures of P18/P563-PEtOx-DOPE were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, GPC, and 1H-NMR. In this strategy, poly(2-ethyl 2-oxazoline)-modified liposomes were firstly constructed with molecular weights of 3,500 and 5,800 Da. Then, we chose PEtOx5800-DOPE because it has been obtained better particle size (88.74 ± 0.6816) according to the DLS results. Then, peptides- and dye-PEtOx lipid-based nanovesicle (LN) were prepared by peptide-18, peptide-563, and 7-mercapto-4-methyl coumarin. Genetic material (pDNA) was encapsulated into the liposomes and evaluated the encapsulation of plasmid DNA with migration by using agarose gel electrophoresis. In vitro cytotoxicity experiment results on prostate cancer and breast cancer cell lines, parallelly with the healthy prostate (PNT1A) and breast (MCF10A) epithelial cell lines, cells showed insignificant toxic effects. Thus, we can suggest a novel PEtOx phospholipid thanks to this article and its integration with ligands, which great potential for gene transfer system. Graphical Abstract

Electrochemical biosensors integrated into wearable devices have revolutionized the technology in terms of health monitoring and diagnostic systems. However, when it comes to moving the devices from the laboratory to real-world environments, a critical problem emerges with the interface. The problem, in essence, is that biorecognition elements tend to lose their activity, delaminate, and drift when exposed to various environmental stresses. The traditional methods for the immobilization of the biorecognition elements result in receptors with random orientations, hydrolytically unstable bonds, and batch-to-batch variability, regardless of the method, including physisorption or non-selective covalent attachment, like using EDC/NHS. This review is organized around a comparative question: which limitations of classical immobilization strategies (physisorption, self-assembled monolayers used as passive anchoring platforms, and EDC/NHS coupling) can be resolved by click chemistry, which can be resolved by mechanistic features? Accordingly, CuAAC, SPAAC, IEDDA, and thiol-ene/yne photoclick reactions are discussed, not as an isolated catalog of ligations, but as complementary solutions to specific interfacial failure modes, including random bioreceptor orientation, hydrolytically vulnerable attachment, poor batch reproducibility, catalyst sensitivity, and the difficulty of functionalizing soft polymeric or textile substrates. In this framework, click chemistry is treated as a deterministic interface-engineering strategy that enables defined covalent fixation, programmable probe density, and improved mechanical and electrochemical robustness under wearable operating conditions.
