Plants growing in soil across the other side of the world have been put under the microscope by scientists in Greenwich in an attempt to find a solution to a health issue much closer to home.
A team based at Greenwich University's School of Science, led by Dr Solomon Habtemariam, believes it has found potential sources of medicine to treat diabetes and obesity, following more than two years of research.
Dr Habtemariam has spent the last 25 years striving to discover medicines from natural sources and said the Cassia auriculata and Cassia alata plants, found in south-east Asia, could provide the key combination of active ingredients needed to treat diabetes.
