[...] The study suggests that vitamin D could be a therapeutic option for COVID-19 thanks to its role in hyper-inflammation. "This study reveals a potentially unique role that vitamin D plays in the activation of T-cell functions that regulate inflammation in COVID-19, and understanding these regulatory pathways may provide information that will lead to the development of novel therapies for the treatment of acute COVID-19," said Dr. Alcendor.
