That's not what the article says. I made this mistake on my first read through too. Cyclosporine isn't the drug that they're referring to as the cure - it's WAY-316606. They just found out how cyclosporine stimulates hair growth and found a different drug that acts through the same mechanism. I'm assuming WAY-316606 is much safer than cyclosporine, given that the latter is a carcinogen.

Who told you Cyclosporine has topical side effects that are 'carcinogenic' ? Lol.
