"These results suggest that the protective effects of melatonin on lung disease are mainly mediated by a melatonin receptor."

Of special interest: a clinical trial about the use of melatonin in the prophylaxis of COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers is being carried out (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: #NCT04353128).
