Answer
There are several challenges in explant culture. Firstly, the emergence of cells from the explant and the subsequent establishment of a cell line typically require approximately a month. Secondly, the process may result in the generation of a diverse or mixed population of cells, introducing heterogeneity to the cell line. There is also a potential risk of contamination originating from the explant.
