Russian term or phrase: молодильное яблочко
"Экзосомы это не молодильное яблочко, просто они помогают регенерации наших собственных клеток кожного покрова."
я не могу припомнить есть ли какой-то эквивалент нашему молодильному яблочку в английском языке. Я не припомню никаких сказок Где бы они оживляли или омолаживали сказочных персонажей. Заранее благодарна за любые подсказки.

neutral  Boris Shapiro: Вот честно: нет у них такого образа. Можно было бы ещё как-то обыграть 'an apple a day...', если ОЧЕНЬ хочется сохранить образность. Но нужно ли?

disagree  Boris Shapiro: Заменять одну незнакомую реалию другой столь же незнакомой - это не решение. / Ага. Например, они могут сказать, что ваш ответ - это non sequitur. Чувствуете разницу?

neutral  Boris Shapiro: Чтение подобных статей только подтверждает тот факт, что кроме как в славянском и скандинавском фольклоре такого образа нет вообще. Вот и вопрос: зачем заниматься подобной археологией в банальном коммерческом тексте?

neutral  danya: while certainly idiomatic and recognisable, the fountain _contains_ water with magic powers, while молодильное яблочко carries those powers itself
