          The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability 
						of MSCs to differentiate into myogenic cells with 
						varying magnetic labeling conditions. MSCs show 
						morphological changes toward the myogenic lineage after 
						6 weeks in muscle media even with the introduction of 
						magnetic particles. This is a new tool that will allow 
						MRI-based cell tracking to further our understanding in 
						skeletal muscle repair.
