Mitochondria (my-toe-KON-dree-ah) is the part of each and every cell that makes energy, and also controls the normal cell life cycle. While it's working, the cell lives on. When it dysfunctions or signals, the cell dies. Research is starting to focus more and more onto this part of the cell for a variety of different health conditions, including heart disease, fibromyalgia, neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Autism spectrum, and even normal aging processe
