How Does String Theory Relate to Mass-Energy Equivalence?

I was just wondering what string theory says, if anything, about mass energy equivalence...anyone have any insights...??

For example, I was wondering if there are mathematics formulated that can transform, say, an electron form of vibration into a massless energy vibration form...or how an energy string might be transformed into matter.

While relativity doesn't say what space is, string theory offers a possible space construct as string forms...maybe in the form of branes...maybe as a one dimensional string sweeping out a two dimensional form in spacetime...so I'm wondering if string theory might have other insights on relativity.

low and behold I did not find a string theory section here...under what heading are string theory questions discussed??

I don't know string theory, so I will only answer this part. The answer is "Beyond the standard model".
 
E=mc^2 is a result of Special Relativity. As String Theory is fully Lorentz-invariant, i assume, the equivalence of energy and matter can be derived from String Theory as well.
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
