Do muscle cells disappear?

Muscle cells do not completely disappear, but they can undergo atrophy, which is a reduction in size and function due to disuse, aging, or disease. When muscles are not regularly used or are subjected to prolonged inactivity, the muscle fibers can shrink and lose strength. However, muscle cells can be stimulated to grow and regenerate through exercise and proper nutrition, especially strength training. Thus, while they may diminish temporarily, they can be rebuilt and strengthened with appropriate interventions.
