6:42 am
in blue stop dividing but they don't die. instead, they begin secreting toxic enzymes that cause inflammation. >> the tissues begin to show signs of low-level, chronic inflammation. if that goes on for a long period of time, eventually it will destroy the tissue. >> reporter: at about age 65, human bodies begin to develop degenerative illnesses and dr. campisi has been granted $27 million to study of senescence may be causing it. >> senescent cells can contribute to virtually all of the diseases that we see go up with age, which is 99% of the diseases you see in the clinic. things like cancer, alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis. even diminishing eyesight. they all may be affected by this process. >> the hope is that by understanding what's underneath the aging process, the molecular mechanism you can identify the major risk factor for all of these diseases instead of treating them individually as they occur. you're getting to the roots

core of the problem. >> reporter: the ceo says the institute's ultimate goal is to extend the human lifespan to 100 years while limiting chronic illnesses to about the last five years of life. >> our goal is to transfer him transfer everybody into a centenarian so if you want to live to 99, 95. >> reporter: they're getting help using mice as subjects. they are joining the xterra institute and a 70 million to effort called the rejuvenating project. it's to understand and possibly halt the aging process. there are even hints it may be possible to reverse the effects of aging allowing humans to actually wind back the clock on their bodies. >> there's a lot of hope and excitement we are on the verge of really changing the way we will age and the perception of how we will age. >> reporter: just because we
6:44 am
can do something, doesn't mean we should. how would it affect the world if everyone lived to be 100? it's a question humanity will have to wrestle with. for now, scientist try to find out if it may be possible. >> if you'd like to hear more about the project, the buck institute, we posted the full interview on kpix.com. police investigating a fire sparked just before 4:00 am yesterday aboard a 50 foot yacht. the fire broke out near the petaluma turning basin. two were able to get off the vessel before emergency crews arrived. because is under investigation. fire crews say there's a lingering odor in the area because of harry fog heavy fog. santa cruz county leaders want to hear from local residents affected by last year's lightning complex wildfires.
