Age-related diseases and degeneration are a massive burden on modern healthcare systems, are difficult to treat because we don't understand many of the underlying pathways, are extremely debilitating for patients, and are difficult for their family and loved ones. Properly understanding these cellular mechanisms and pathways can open up new avenues for treatment for cancer, Alzheimers, and other diseases, all of which would result in lucrative new drugs. The market for age-related diseases is extremely large, and it only grows every year.
