On October 21, 2026, Prof. Calogero Caruso, Editor-in-Chief of Exploration of Immunology (EI), delivered a lecture titled "A Life Beyond Time: Insights from Italian Semi- and Supercentenarians" at the Italian National Research Council (CNR, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche).

During the event, Prof. Caruso also took the opportunity to introduce Exploration of Immunology to the academic audience, highlighting the journal's commitment to advancing high-quality research across the field of immunology. He also presented EI's Invited Authors Program, an initiative designed to recognize and support outstanding research contributions by offering full APC waivers for selected manuscripts, and encouraged interested researchers to explore opportunities for contributing to the journal. Researchers interested in learning more about the program are warmly invited to contact the Editorial Office for further details.

We sincerely thank Prof. Caruso for his continued dedication to EI and his valuable efforts in strengthening the journal's visibility and engagement with the wider academic community.
