Our Publications

Peer-reviewed, and growing.

Two literature reviews out of our in-house research program so far, both accepted at the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine.

Assessing the Therapeutic, Pathological, and Mechanistic Role of Mitochondria in Asthma

Zaid Vellani, Adam A. Razick, Zahra Sellami, Erin Baek, Yamen A. Bani Younes, Abdullah Yusaf, Emma Wong, Daniyal Siddiqui, Beatriz G. R. Feliciano, Faris Raza, Rumaan Mehdi, Rishit Bhat

A literature review examining how dysfunction in the mitochondria — the cell's energy engine — helps drive the oxidative stress and airway remodeling behind asthma, and what that could mean for treatments beyond inhalers and steroids.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Bioenergetics in COPD: Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Opportunities

Rishit Bhat, Liam B. Dunne, Sophia Miles, Ahmad Kazi, Daniyal Siddiqui, Mutahhar N. Warriach, Chibudom T. Ofoegbu, Zaid Vellani

A literature review on how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to COPD — examining biomarkers for disease severity and emerging mitochondria-targeted therapies as a complement to standard anti-inflammatory treatment.

What's Next

More submissions are already in motion.

Both publications came out of in-house literature review projects — the same model now running across multiple chapters. See what's currently underway in In-House Research.

Our Standard

What "peer-reviewed" means here.

Every submission that comes out of the Breathe Better Foundation — whether an in-house literature review, a wet lab collaboration, or a clinical study — goes through external peer review before we call it a publication. We don't publish preliminary results as findings, and we credit every student, clinician, and lab partner involved.
