Abstract Biosecurity screening of synthetic DNA orders is a key defense against malicious actors and careless enthusiasts producing dangerous pathogens or toxins. It is important to evaluate biosecurity screening tools for potential vulnerabilities and to work responsibly with providers to ensure that vulnerabilities can be patched before being publicly disclosed.

1 Introduction Brillouin microscopy is a label-free, all-optical technique for imaging the mechanical properties of biological samples with no physical contact or external mechanical stimulus.

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death arising from excessive lipid peroxidation. While seminal work described that oncogenic RAS transformation drives synthetic lethal vulnerability to archetypal ferroptosis inducers including erastin (eradicator of RAS and ST-expressing cells) and RSL3 (Ras selective lethal 3), more recent work suggest that oncogenic RAS signaling may confer ferroptosis resistance.
